After creating the category for the customers, to exchange the data, you must select the cut-off date. The Lock Configuration page in the greytHR Admin portal helps you, as Payroll Service Provider (PSP) to configure a cut-off date. The cut-off date helps you to set a deadline for your customers to upload the inputs. After the configuration, the system locks the category automatically on the cut-off date. The option disables your customers from adding the inputs or making changes after the cut-off date.

To view the Lock Configuration page, click DataShare Hub > Setup > Lock Configuration.

The page displays a list of categories for which you have set a cut-off date. You can perform the following actions on the Lock Configuration page:
