Result types contains the various types of results that can be recorded, this includes some that are specific to certain states. If your organisation does not deliver in Qld, NT, Vic and/or WA, there are state-specific result types that could be deleted to reduce clutter.
Some result types will have unique functionality depending on the state they are employed in, or the AVETMISS Outcome they are designed to report. Examples of these include the Credit Transfer result type removing Tuition Fee information when reported in Victoria, or the Withdrawn status (AVETMISS Outcome 40) having a unique method to be applied to a unit. This process is documented in the following article: Process: Withdrawing From A Unit
