Tempo plugin:- How to lock the time period of user worklog?

[charan cherry]

Hi Team,

I want to lock time sheet for a particular month. E.g. In June, I would have admin lock the timesheet for May once users have logged their time. Admin should be able to unlock the timesheets if required.

We are using Atlassian Cloud.

Regards,

Charan.

Hi @Susanne Götz _Tempo_ ,

Thanks for your response.

Hi @charan cherry ,

Periods can be closed by users with Tempo Administrator permission in the Period Mangement view ( Tempo, Settings, Period management).

Periods can be closed manually in this view.  They can be closed for all users or only for users who are not approvers in a team.   Please take a look at https://tempo-io.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/THC/pages/144867453/To+manually+open+or+close+timesheet+periods for more information.

How to lock the timesheet weekly basis. It will be showing only month-wise

Hi @Charan goud 

Closing the period is the period management can only be done monthly. It is designed to be a more permanent closure ( all users have finished logging their work and you do not want anyone to make any changes. You need to be an Administrator to access this view).

Weekly closures can be done via the Tempo Scheduler (https://tempo-io.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/THC/pages/187760747/To+configure+the+scheduler) or the Tempo Timesheets Approvals (https://tempo-io.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/THC/pages/172425259/Timesheet+Approvals+-+Tempo+Cloud).
When using these options, a Team lead / user with Approve Timesheets permission for a Team can give his team members a Grace Period ( when using Scheduler) or re-open the Timesheet ( when using approvals).

This breaks the ability for users to copy old time entries that might be useful in filling out their timesheets. From a UX point of view it's not good.

Just lock the ability to edit the actual entry, then at least we can duplicate to new weeks.

(you'd obviously need to make any duplicates appear in a valid period)
