Unit Version Rules

CONTINUING DEVELOPMENT

The definition of available rules, operators, parameters and functions is part of an ongoing development process. Future delivery sets may offer a broader range of rules, and/or a broader range of rule options for currently available rules. Users may also note that the text used in rule options may be edited from that which existed in an earlier release. Pre-existing rules, using the same rule option, but created in an earlier version, automatically update to reflect the edited text.
