This places a temporary lock on the period up to and including the date you selected. If you need to create, edit or delete a transaction in a locked period at a later time—for example, you locked the period from March 2016 2018 and now want to create a transaction in February 2016—you 2018—you can unlock the period by deselecting the Lock my data up to and including option.
