Overview
Unit Rules are used to enforce quality standards before a unit can be signed off. They act as a final validation step when a unit reaches 100% completion, ensuring the correct number of assessments or specific assessment methods have been completed. If the Unit Rule is not satisfied, the system prevents the Assessor from signing off the unit.
