Real-Time Recalculation
The compliance percentage updates automatically whenever you make changes:
- Add a certificate: Total increases, percentage recalculates
- Renew a certificate: Valid count increases, percentage improves
- Certificate expires: Valid count decreases, percentage drops
- Delete a certificate: Total decreases, percentage adjusts
How to Improve Your Compliance %
Increase Valid Count
- Renew expiring certificates: Move amber to green status
- Update expired certificates: Move red to green status
- Upload new certificates: Replace old ones with current dates
Example Improvement
- Before: 1 valid ÷ 5 total = 20%
- Renew 2 certificates: 3 valid ÷ 5 total = 60%
- Renew remaining 2: 5 valid ÷ 5 total = 100%
Understanding Your Compliance
The compliance percentage gives you an instant overview of your portfolio's health. Only certificates with 30+ days remaining count as "valid" because they don't require immediate action. This conservative approach ensures you stay ahead of expiry deadlines and maintain compliance confidence.
