A factor may not be reassessed for a long period of time and consequently the results are considered lapsed. Lapsing factors means that recommendations will not be produced for that factor on the activity workspace. Factors are lapsed if the next assessment due date has passed and the factor has not been reassessed. Note: If a next assessment due cannot be calculated (this occurs when an assessment interval has not been defined for the factor in administration or on the assessment definition for factors which are part of an assessment) then no lapsing occurs.
