Saving Your Work

There are different methods for saving your work; in some cases, you click a save icon or Action menu item, and in others, Vantagepoint saves your work automatically.

Explicit Saves

When you enter new or changed data, some forms, individual tabs, and dialog boxes require you to explicitly save your work by clicking a Save button or selecting Save from an Actions menu. Vantagepoint displays a message at the top of the page to confirm that your work was saved.

If you cancel the form or dialog box without saving, any unsaved work is discarded.

If you try to select another record, go to another tab, or close a form without saving when a save is required, Vantagepoint displays a message asking if you want to save.

Automatic Saves

On many forms, particularly when you enter additional information for a previously saved record, Vantagepoint saves your work automatically. You do not have to explicitly initiate the save process. For a non-grid field, the automatic save occurs when you move the focus off the field by clicking or tabbing or when you press Enter. In a grid, the save occurs when you move the focus off the grid row by clicking or tabbing or when you press Enter from one of the grid fields.

For example, when you enter contacts on the Team tab in the Projects hub, the only required field is Name. If you select a contact in Name and move the input focus off that grid row (by clicking elsewhere on the Team tab, for example), Vantagepoint automatically saves that contact as part of the team information for the in pursuit project.

When an automatic save occurs, Vantagepoint displays Saving... and a processing icon beneath the record title.

If Your Work Cannot Be Saved

If Vantagepoint tries to save and you have not made an entry in a required field or an entry is not valid for some reason, Vantagepoint displays a message that describes the problem and highlights the field that caused the save to fail so you can correct it. Incomplete fields are identified with one or more of the following: a red star, red border, red inline text, and/or yellow background.

The message gives you the option to continue without saving, in which case your unsaved work is discarded, or you can cancel the message and correct the invalid or missing entry.
