Summary
The function of locking or unlocking a report in Absolute is a feature that is available for Superusers. This feature will enable or disable editing capability for designated sections of the report on the Dashboard. This function can be used after sections of a report are reviewed, or after submission of the cost report to Medicare, to ensure that no changes are made to those final sections.
