Let's say that you have a client that wants a weekly invoice. Every Monday, you invoice the client for the work done in the last week. After sending the invoice, you don't want any of your team members to be able to make a time entry for the work done in the last week. Autolock will let you lock the timesheet so that no one can add a new time entry or make changes to last week's time entry.
Three types of Autolocks are supported
End of the day - This allows 24 hours grace period. It means on wednesday you can make an entry for Tuesday. But you will not be allowed to make an entry for Monday on a wednesday.
End of the week - No grace period is allowed. A week ends on Sunday. It means on Monday you can't add or make any changes to the time entries of the previous week.
End of the month - No grace period is allowed. It means on the 1st of the next month you will not be allowed to make or edit any entry of the previous month.
