Using the calendar view to plan renewals across the quarter — this article focuses on “Calendar view” within Expiry radar. Overdue / 30 / 90-day buckets explained. Below is a practical playbook you can apply immediately, and how a knowledge graph keeps facts from living only in PDFs and spreadsheets.
Why “Calendar view” deserves its own focus
Under Expiry radar, teams often cram every detail into one summary — and the items that blow up before a deadline get buried. Isolating “Calendar view” gives owners a clear definition of done, and gives reminders and dashboards something concrete to hang on.
fida lab’s approach: extract parties, obligations, dates, and amounts from PDFs into a knowledge graph. Chat, expiry radar, cashflow, and calendar all read that graph — they do not re-guess the source text.
Practical steps
- Inventory the status quo: where does the information live, and who can interpret it?
- Align the key dates and obligations that matter for Expiry radar
- Prioritize by counterparty, money, and expiry risk
- Write conclusions back into a shared workspace — not private notes
One-week checklist
- What is the single most urgent item this week?
- Does finance or sales need to be in the loop?
- Are there auto-renew or silent-extension clauses?
- Is the decision deadline earlier than the legal/commercial notice period?
Common pitfalls
- Tracking only the “expiry date” and forgetting the “notice period” — a few weeks’ gap can close the renewal window.
- The same counterparty appears under different spellings and gets counted as two companies.
- Keyword search finds a paragraph but cannot answer cross-document portfolio questions.
Summary and next steps
If you are building an operating rhythm around Expiry radar, finish the first two checklist items before automating reminders. Once contract facts live in a knowledge graph, Q&A, expiry, and cashflow views get much cheaper — that is the time fida lab aims to save for SMEs.
