You can edit a new or existing record, then leave the page where you were editing the record and perform other tasks. When you do this, the record that you had been working on is remembered as an unsaved item. The Recent Items button in the upper right portion of the screen will show the presence of unsaved records, as shown in this example.

Unsaved Records

When you hover the mouse over the Recent Items button, a window appears that contains links to records you have worked on recently as well as unsaved records. To return to an unsaved record, simply click the link for that record. You can then edit the record further and/or save the record.

You are also reminded about unsaved records when you attempt to log out while there are still unsaved records present in your session. A window appears that lists the unsaved items.

Unsaved Records Reminder

Each item has a check-box next to it. If you wish to save the items before you log out, click the related check-boxes and then click OK. If you do not wish to save any items, leave the check-boxes blank and click OK. If you decide not to log out after all, click Cancel.
