This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Protect Calculations page.
Because you can quickly accumulate huge amounts of calculation information, it's important to regularly delete calculations that you no longer need. Periodic processing includes a deletion process for this purpose.
Because of this regular deletion process, you must take measures to protect calculations that you do need. These include estimates that you provide to employees, final calculations, or calculations used in a divorce settlement to establish the amount granted to a former spouse.
Protecting a calculation prevents someone from deleting the results, modifying the calculation parameters, or rerunning the calculation.
