Workflow
========


The reminder is controlled by two variables:

* Time from which records are obsolete

* Period after which users should be reminded again

Example:

* obsolete if older than 6 months

* users remind after 2 weeks

The timestamp of the records that are deprecated will be changed to:

* -6 months +2 weeks


Find deprecated records
-----------------------

.. figure:: workflow1.png
  :alt: Frontend user reminder: Workflow

  Illustration 1: Three records are out of date (left of the point -6 months)

Illustration above should be clear.


Update deprecated records
-------------------------

.. figure:: workflow2.png
  :alt: Frontend user reminder: Workflow

  Illustration 2: The three deprecated records are moved to -6 months +2 weeks

The deprecated records of the illutsration 1 are moved to the point
-6 months +2 weeks in the illustration 2.

The timestamp of these records is set to now -6 months +2 weeks. 

Now the three records will be deprecated in 2 weeks. If the frontend user won't update
these records, he will get a reminder in 2 weeks again.
