Locking a user’s calculations

All Hours allows you to lock user data on the user’s profile

Written by Gregor Bercic

With the Changes to calculations possible from setting, you can define a date for an individual user from which calculation changes are still allowed. This prevents editing older records and protects already finalized data from later changes.

Once the date is set, the user can no longer add or modify time entries, absences, corrections, or the rule group for days before that date.

How to set the lock for a user

  1. Open Users.

  2. In the user list, select the user for whom you want to restrict calculation changes.

  3. Open the Time tracking tab.

  4. Find the Changes to calculations possible from field.

  5. Enter or select the date from which changes will still be allowed.

  6. Click Save.

What happens after the lock is enabled

When you set a date in the Changes to calculations possible from field:

  • the user can no longer edit data for an older period,

  • adding past time entries is disabled,

  • adding past absences is disabled,

  • adding past corrections is disabled,

  • changing the rule group for dates before the selected date is disabled.

In the One Day (detailed) view or other calculation views, a notification is displayed for the locked period indicating that the calculation data is locked.
