Dates
The Dates section tracks key timestamps related to a license contract. It combines system-generated metadata with user-defined timeline entries, supporting both operational tracking and compliance reporting.
This section helps users understand the lifecycle of a license, including when it was created, updated, or completed, along with other important contractual dates. Custom dates often capture agreement effective dates, renewal deadlines, and royalty payment milestones aligned with contract clauses. Together with read-only system timestamps, they give licensing and finance teams a single timeline for obligations and audits.
Date Fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Created | System-generated. Records the date the license was first created. |
| Updated | System-generated. Indicates the last time any changes were saved to the license. |
| Completed | System-generated. Set when the license is marked as completed or closed. |
| Other Dates | Configurable by users using the calendar picker. Can be cleared using the ✕ icon next to the field. |

Tips
