Restricting Timesheet Edit

We have an exciting update to announce. We are implementing restrictions on timesheet edit access.

To our users, this looks like a locking mechanism – if one user is editing a timesheet, an alert will be displayed when another user attempts to edit the same timesheet. This change includes two new columns: Locked Status and Locked By.

The new columns will be visible on all Timesheet Grids (excluding deleted timesheets).

• The Locked Status column will display as Open by default. The Locked By column will be blank by default.
• When the timesheet is being edited, the Locked By column will display the name of the user currently editing the timesheet. The Locked Status will show as Locked.
• A Refresh button will be added. After you click the button, the grid will refresh.
• The timesheet idle time is set to 5 minutes. After this time, the timesheet will be released and can be edited by another user.

If a user attempts to edit or save a timesheet that is being accessed by another user, an alert will be shown.

If you have any questions or need more information, please do not hesitate to reach out.
