Save a Form

   MaestroThe UI design product.  |   Form Builder |   17.10 This feature was updated in 17.10.

Maestro doesn’t automatically save a form while you are working on its content, so you must click Save regularly to persist your changes to the form.

To save a form:

  1. Open a form in the Maestro Editor.
  2. Edit the form as required.
  3. Click Save to save the changes.
    Note

    The save button becomes enabled only if there have been changes to a form since it was last saved.

  4. Select one of the following save options:
    • Save this Version - saves the changes to the currently open form version and it works in the same way as clicking the Save button.
    • Save as New Version - saves the changes to a new form version. You must enter a new version number and a description in the Save as New Version window.
  5. Click Close to close the tab with the form.

Maestro comes with the save form notification mechanism.  |  17.10 This feature was introduced in 17.10.

If you have saved a form while other Maestro editor users have the form open or have been working on it, they will see the following warning message:

Should any conflict arise while saving a form, the message displays the user name who has saved the form, so you can reach out to that user to discuss which changes should be saved or rolled back.

Note

When a user saves a form, Manager marks a form as userSavedFlag = TRUE, so this form submissions won't be abandoned.
