For personnel to remain current, the recency contact for each recency item must record the date the person last conducted the recency requirement (with the exception of self-updatable items). Personnel are reminded of their outstanding recency requirements in the Alerts screen. Personnel can only update recency items which are self-updatable. Self-updatable recency items (for example, an ILS) are determined in the recency setup. All other recency items must be updated by the recency contact.
