How do I lock time entries or mark them as billed?

Keeping an accurate historical record is important. At times you may wish to “lock” time entries so that they cannot be edited or deleted later. For example, you may want lock a set of time entries after preparing an invoice.

Start by creating a report that contains the time slips you would like to lock, and then click the ‘lock entries’ link in the upper right corner of the report menu. Tempo will then lock every entry in that report. Once you lock a time entry, the entry displays a small ‘locked’ icon on the left, and the edit/delete options to the right disappear.

To unlock a locked entry, simply click on the lock icon, and the icon will disappear as the other controls become available again. Only project managers have the power to unlock time slips.

You may also lock individual entries by editing the time slip and toggling the ‘lock entry?’ check box.
