What does Metric Lock mean?

A view can be completely locked or locked up to a particular date using the metric lock. Data in a locked view cannot be modified; therefore, this field should be used only when metric data is final and ready for inclusion in rollup reports. If necessary, data can be unlocked at any time by moving the lock date back, or by clearing the check box. Typically, metric locking is restricted to financial representatives; however, any user with the Lock Metrics permission can access this setting. This article describes the Metric Lock.

Note: Metric Lock is a replaceable term in PowerSteering. Your organization may use a different label to represent when a metric is ready to be locked on your site.
