Enable Backdating of Time Tracking Entries

By default, InLoox allows users to create and copy time tracking entries up to 30 days in the past. You can adjust this setting to allow more or fewer days.

1. In InLoox, click on your profile picture in the upper-right corner.
2. Click on Account Settings.
3. Click on Organization.

4. Under the General tab, enter the number of days in the Allowed backdating days field.

warning

To allow individual users to backdate or copy older time entries, you must also enable the Allow backdating time entries permission for those users. For details, see Permissions.

What the Backdating Period Covers

Users without this permission can create, copy and change time entries within the number of days you set here. For entries that start before this period, the dates are locked:

• The date, time and duration fields are disabled in the time entry, with a red warning triangle next to the date.
• Moving or resizing such an entry in the calendar is rejected, and so is moving a current entry to a date before the period.
• Other fields, such as name, description and group, remain editable.
• Such entries cannot be deleted.

The period is checked on the server, so date changes outside it are also rejected in the OData API and in the InLoox Mobile App, where the fields are not disabled and saving shows an error message instead.
