{{Deprecated}}
==General Description==
<u>'''Note:'''</u> In a future upgrade, this custom field will be deprecated for new instances. For existing instances, any '''Special - Auto Save''' custom fields will be excluded from instance cloning and field imports. An alternative to this custom field can be used by going to '''Global Settings''' > '''System''' tab > Toggle on '''Automatically Save Field Values when Editing Records'''. This will autosave all the fields on the record.
The '''Auto Save''' [[Custom Fields|custom field]] automatically saves the current page in the background at a specified interval (5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc.)<br />
Using this [[Custom Fields|custom field]] will ensure that [[User|users]] filling in long forms will have their work automatically saved at the specified interval in case of an Internet outage or connection time-out.
* '''IMPORTANT:''' If the Auto Save interval is less than the [[Session Timeout]] interval, the session won't time out if user is on the edit page, because it will keep saving the form.
* If the same record is being edited by more than one person, the information saved within [[SmartSimple]] will be the version of whoever saved (or Auto Saved) the record last. (Only applies if the [[Record Lock]] is not enabled)
