Re - Submit the document after reaching Lifetime

Question

Hello Experts,
i need to re-submit the document after reaches its lifetime, if the user needs that document again?
this all are done inside Collaboration Room.
In detail,
I had created a Users called,
1) Author (-Permission : R/W-)
2) Employee (-Permission : Read-)
Author creating one document and setting lifetime for that document, then the Employee can view the document depends on the LifeTime what Author specified, then the document will not show the Employee( Working till this ).
but the Employee needs that document again, so he/she have to request for the document after the lifetime reaches.
How can i acheive this?
One More thing,
Notification have to send to the Author once the document got Expired, how it is possible?
Regards,
Mythili

Hi Mythili,
by enabling the subscription service on the repository you can configure on folder level who should get notifications (Author Group) when documents in this folder expires.
Unfortunately, this is all you can do within the standard KM functionality.
In order to create notifications in advance that go to the owner / last editor or / last modifier of the document you need to do some implementation. You could for example create a custom KM report that should run daily and check the expiration date of the documents and send this custom made notifications.
The specified item was not found. describes here another way of achieving this: document lifetime and resubmission
Hope this helps,
