Configure Edit restrictions for a UX page

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi All,

I have a UX page where users manually enter data into all fields. I have a requirement to configure this page in such a way that users can edit it only during the first 10 days and the last 5 days of each month. How can I implement this lock in Anaplan?
Please advice! Thank you in advance.

Hi @Isha ,

For achieving this functionality (If I’m understanding your requirement correctly, your UX page Published module is not dimensioned by time), So I assume you're storing the current date in the system to identify today's date. This would allow you to compare and determine whether it's within the first 10 days or the last 5 days of the month.

If you have the current date, you can create a simple DCA (Dynamic Cell Access) Write Line Item in your target module where the user manually enters data. Then, you can use a formula like the one below:

(To make it more optimized, based on @seymatas1 suggestion you can further add these considerations,

1. You can create the DCA line item in an Access Driver module (AC01). This will remove the location dimension from the DCA line item which was shown in example.

2. Instead of hardcoding 10 and 5 days into the formula as shown, you can put then in some dimensionless module where admins enter them directly.)

I hope this helps.
