Lockout Exception request to enter/submit time

An administrative feature called Time Lockout permits all time entries and submissions to be locked down after a specified date. After that date arrives, no additional time entry or time entry submissions are permitted on or prior to the date.

 

When Time Lockout is enabled, a message is displayed in the upper right hand corner of the time entry view. Lockouts do not apply to expenses.
 

 

If required, you can submit a request that the locked period be opened (Exception Request). If the Exception Request is approved, you are then able to enter and submit time for this period. The Exception Request feature is only available if Time Lockout has been enabled by an Administrator.

Lockout exception request to enter/submit time:

1. Click the Exception Request button on the message.
   
   The Exception Request window opens.

2. Select to which Manager to send the exception request. This list displays all administrative users who have the ability to approve the request.

3. Enter the date range (Start/Finish) to open.

4. Enter a Reason for the request.

5. Click Submit.

 

An e-mail is sent to the manager. When the exception request is approved, the user who submitted the request is notified by e-mail.
