Access to a prior year file
If you elected to create a new file for the new year, it is essential to ensure users cannot access the old Time data file to make new entries after the year end close. Entries are made in the new data file ONLY.
To prevent accidental postings, move the old data file to a specially-marked folder, separate from the current year's data.
If users need to access the previous years' files as a reference to billing and time history, then during the year end procedure select the option Include current file in "History Manager".
