A lockout date prevents Users from editing or adding Time Entries on or before that date — useful after you've invoiced or run payroll. This video walks through where to set a lockout date in MinuteDock and how it affects your team.
An Admin must unlock an existing locked Time Entry before editing it. Saving the edit locks it again. This applies even when more than one lock reason is present. If the entry is attached to an Invoice, its Contact cannot be changed, even while it is unlocked.
An Admin cannot create a completely new Time Entry on a locked date. Unlocking an existing entry only allows that entry to be edited; it does not open the date for new entries. To create new time on a date covered by the Account cutoff, an Admin needs to move the cutoff earlier than that date or remove it. Moving the cutoff later will not help.
