Workday-Adaptive-Planning practice question 7 of 10

The planning team decided that no user should be able to edit the Office Supplies general ledger account, since the planning team will do the estimates for all levels. What setting in a standard sheet do you use to make an account read-only for all levels?

Full set: 61 questions
Answer options
A: Initial View
B: Level Availability Correct answer
C: Customization for sub-levels
D: Account Groups
Correct Answer:
B. Level Availability
Explanation

The 'Level Availability' setting within a standard sheet's account properties is specifically designed to control access and editability for an account across the level hierarchy. To make an account read-only for all users at all levels, an administrator would configure this setting to "Read-only" for "All Levels". This ensures that while the data is visible, it cannot be modified by end-users, allowing a central planning team to manage the inputs as required by the scenario.

Why Incorrect

A. Initial View: This setting controls the default display state (e.g., expanded or collapsed levels) when a user opens the sheet, not data editability.
C. Customization for sub-levels: This allows for different formulas or properties at lower levels but is not the primary control for setting universal read-only access.
D. Account Groups: These are used for organizing and grouping accounts for reporting and display purposes within a sheet, and they do not control permissions.
