Many useful documents have no deadline at all. A report to read or a letter to understand can still have a personal review plan without acquiring an invented source date.
A chosen review time is useful even when the document has no deadline.
Start with the source
Check whether the source actually states a deadline, an appointment or only a general request. A document date tells you when it was issued; it does not automatically tell you when you must act.
Make the review useful
Use Add a scheduled review when no deadline is known. Choose a time when you can read the source properly, and give the task a concrete title such as “Read the service letter and list my questions.”
Keep the next step clear
Keep the distinction visible in your notes. A personal check-in can repeat, while the original record date remains historical metadata. If you later learn a genuine deadline, update the action after checking the new source.
One step at a time.
- 01
Read the source for an explicit required date.
- 02
Keep its issue date as record metadata.
- 03
Add a scheduled review at a time you choose.
- 04
Explain what you want to review before saving.
A little reference.
Keep the context and your next action together.
| Check | Example | Your next step |
|---|---|---|
| Issue date | Letter printed on 3 May | Store it as the record date |
| Review time | Saturday afternoon | Treat it as your own plan |
| Deadline | None stated | Leave it unclaimed until confirmed |
Will OneTap invent a review deadline for a report?
No date should be treated as a source requirement without evidence; choose a personal scheduled review when you want one.
These guides explain product workflows. Review extracted names, dates and amounts. Features depend on your device, permissions and optional service setup.
