To allow the administrator to view the previous three months of Actuals while preventing edits, which property and value should be set?

• A. Set the Number of No Input Periods Per Workflow Unit property to 2
• B. Set the Number of No Input Periods Per Workflow Unit property to 3
• C. Set the Workflow Tracking Frequency property to Yearly
• D. Set the Workflow Tracking Frequency property to Quarterly

Answer: (B)

This tests how the system controls data entry versus viewing for a workflow unit. The Number of No Input Periods Per Workflow Unit defines how many past periods are treated as not requiring any data entry. Setting this to three makes the three most recent periods read-only, so the administrator can open and view the Actuals for those months without being able to edit them. The current period can still be open or closed for input depending on other settings, but the three preceding periods are locked for changes. Choosing a value of two would lock only two past periods, which doesn’t meet the requirement of viewing three months. Changing the Workflow Tracking Frequency to yearly or quarterly adjusts how often the workflow is tracked, not how many past periods are locked for input, so it wouldn’t achieve the requested three-month view-only window.
