uAo save

Is there a way to auto save a form every x minutes?

The issue is the system wide timeout is quite low - 10 minutes. Some users - who can be very verbose when composing emails - or who get distracted with phone calls and other curses of modern living will overrun the timeout and when they click save, they get sent to the timeout screen and lose all their work.

So I'm either looking to auto save every few minutes or have the system save their work at the point of timeout. I can save on close or abandonment - but when the phone rings, they just leave the cursur flashing in the HTML message field despite having been told millions of times not to do that.

Life would be great if it wasn't for customers

You can probably add a script to the form..

Something like this:

function myFunction() {
$('[id*="_save_button"]').click();
}

var i = setInterval(function () {
myFunction();
}, 600000
);

EDIT:: Not sure if you can't just tick the 'Auto-save' box in the Miscellaneous section of form settings.. Would be easier and no random save mask every 10 minutes.

I've got auto save on the form which deals with abandonment (x'ing the window away or closing the tab/ hitting the close button ) - doesn't work with a timeout

Will try the script later. Thanks for replying
