Unit Rules

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.

User Roles

This feature can be used by:

  • Centre Manager

What Are Unit Rules?

Unit Rules define conditions that must be met before a unit can be signed off. Examples include:

  • Requiring a minimum number of assessments.
  • Ensuring specific assessment methods have been used.

The rule is checked automatically when the unit reaches 100% completion.

Steps

How to Create a Unit Rule

  1. Click Quality in the navigation menu.
  2. Select Unit Rules.
  3. Use the Learning Aim dropdown to select the relevant aim.
  4. Type the rule into the Create New Unit Rule field.
  5. (Optional) Click Click here to open a tutorial for detailed rule examples.
  6. Select the units the rule should apply to.
  7. (Optional) Click Check Unit Rule Syntax to validate the rule.
  8. Click Save.

The created rule will appear at the top of the page, where it can be edited or deleted.

What Happens When a Unit Reaches 100%?

  • A message appears at the top of the Unit Summary page.
  • The message highlights the Unit Rule that must be met.
  • The unit cannot be signed off until the rule is satisfied.

Tips & Notes

  • Use descriptive rule names so Assessors understand what is required.
  • Unit Rules help maintain consistent quality and prevent premature sign‑off.
  • Always validate syntax before saving to avoid rule errors.
