Auto-Saving Data

[ababcock]

I am having trouble with users leaving a screen up for too long, getting logged out, and losing the info they had entered. This spans across submission forms as well as details pages. Is there any way to auto-save the data they enter, in case they are logged out or close the window?

maybe instead use a javascript redirect timer, so that after an interval the form is no longer displayed.

Hello ababcock,

 

I've used AutoSubmit code:

<script type="text/javascript">
  if(document.getElementById("caspioform")) {
  setTimeout('document.forms["caspioform"].submit()',900000); } 
</script>

On Details page I've set the "Same form" in the "Destination after record update" field. 900000 is 15 minutes, it is milliseconds.

And for Submission Forms I would like to recommend the following solution:

The form is refreshed always, even if your user is entering a text, it may cause a problem. But you can set another time interval, more or less.

However, it depends on the complexity of the inquiry.
