This field is empty unless you are a user who has at least View permissions for the Groups table.

Select one of the following options:

  • Table – The overrun option applies only to a specific project.

  • Group – The overrun option applies only to a specific project group.

  • All – The overrun option applies to all projects that do not have another option specified.

Important

If a different option is defined for a project and for the group that contains the project, the option for the project is used.

Select the project or project group that this overrun option applies to. If the overrun option applies to All, this field is empty and you cannot select a project or project group.

Overrun option

Select the overrun option for the members of the selected user group.

  • Disallow overruns – Users cannot enter a transaction when the remaining budget balance is insufficient to cover the transaction.

  • Warn of overruns – Users can enter a transaction when the remaining budget balance is insufficient to cover the transaction. These users receive a warning about the overrun, and the transaction is processed normally.

  • Allow overruns – Users can enter transactions when the remaining budget balance is insufficient to cover the transaction. The transactions are processed normally, and the user does not receive a warning.

Important

If a user is a member of two groups that have different options for the same project or project group, the user is granted the more permissive option.

Note

If an administrator deletes a user group, that user group is automatically deleted from this form.
