Manage locking of data entry Data entry locking is used to manage changes to reporting data before, during and after the reporting process. Report data entry will be prevented for students with a pending, QA or locked status. Student reports that are printed with a pending, QA or open status will contain a draft watermark. Locking is applied to students and the selected reporting period and can be configured on an academic year or individual student basis. There are five stages of locking. These are: Pending Reporting group setup is incomplete. Teachers will be prevented from entering reporting data. Open Reporting group setup is complete and teachers are able to enter reporting data.
