   • Exists on training.gov.au similarly indicates that this unit appears on the TGA website.
   • This Unit/Module is inactive allows a unit to be deactivated or archived should it be required. This will not effect existing learning that utilise this unit, but will prevent it's use in future.
10. Multi State claiming values is an area to record Unit information that can differ from state to state.
    • Nominal Hours. VETtrak allows you to record different hours for each state for your units. The number of hours will then be allocated to that unit in an enrolment according to which state the enrolment is in. These values can also be imported via the Update AVETMISS Fields functionality.
    • Points represent an optional field that can be used to add a 'value' to a unit for administration purposes.
    • Unit Amount allows entry of a dollar value for that unit per state, if required.
    • Expiry Months allows a VETtrak user to specify an expiry period for a unit. When a completion-type result is recorded for a unit with an expiry period, the expiry date will be automatically calculated from the date the unit was completed. This date can then be viewed in the Record Results Wizard. For example, if the unit had a 12 month expiry period recorded and a person completed this unit on 13th August, 2017, their expiry date will be set to 13th August, 2018.
    • Element Amount functions similarly to the Unit Amount, but on an Element level.
