assignment units

[ks2008]

"Fixed Units Indicates that the task's number of assignment units must
remain constant, regardless of any change in duration or work for the task.
This is the default. For fixed-unit tasks:"

What is "assignment units" means here ?
Could you please explain ?

Thanks
KS

When you assign a resource to a task, Microsoft Project 2007 allows you to
enter a Units value for the assignment. The number you enter for the
resource is called the Assignment Units for that resource on the task. Hope
this helps.
