Profit.co provides an option to restrict the check-ins that we perform on the parent key results.
Why this Feature?
- By using this feature we can control parent Key Result level check-in, only the Sub-Key Results progress will override the parent Key Result.
- This will helps the check-in at parent level Key Result when the sync is enabled and the progress is rolled up from the Sub-KRs to avoid manipulation.
- On disabling the option to control overrides from settings.
Step 1
Navigate to Settings → OKRs →Authoring from the left menu. On the Authoring page switch to the Check-ins tab.

Disable the toggle for Allow users to override check-ins at the parent key result level. By default, the Check-in Overrides toggle will be enabled.
Before disabling the toggle you’ll be getting the confirmation message to enforce this in the newly created department/team OKRs.

If you enable the toggle we can restrict the parent key result check-ins in the existing Department and Team OKRs. Finally, click Save.
Step 2
Consider that you have created a new OKR in which the parent key result has two sub-key results.

If you try to make the check-in directly in the Parent Key Result.

You can’t make the check-in and a pop-up message will appear that says, the Check-ins from sub key results are being synced and cannot be overridden.
