Entry guidelines

This element is important for the management of the FAILTE database. It can be used in comparison with the "Date last reviewed"e; (see below, element number 33).

Periodic checks will be carried out, to compare the two dates. Where the "Date to be reviewed" entry pre-dates the "Date last reviewed"e; by more than a year (or where there is no "Date last reviewed" entry after more than a year), the records will be reviewed. The records needing review will be identified by the database using an automated procedure which can be run whenever necessary, depending on the growth rate of the database.

A default time period of 1 year is to be used to set the date, although it will be possible for this to be over-ridden by a manual entry. The date will be recorded in the ISO 8601 format, e.g. 1982-08-13
