General Description

The Auto Save custom field automatically saves the current page in the background at a specified interval (1 minute, 5 minutes etc.)

  • Using the Auto Save custom field will ensure that 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. Specifically designed for Level 1 Template Pages, but will also work for the internal view of Level 1 records.
  • The page is not refreshed on-screen, simply saved in the background.
  • Important: No Validation or Calculations will be performed until the record is saved in the normal fashion (using the Save or Submit button).

  • The field is displayed as Read Only with the Field Name or Caption (if defined) as the label and the text Autosave Enabled displayed in the field.
  • The number in brackets following Autosave Enabled indicates the number of times that the page has been saved in the background.
