When you are modifying an item, you can be interrupted and need to save your work by clicking the Saved Work in Progress button during various processes. Later, you can use this tab to retrieve saved work in progress.
In addition, the system automatically saves work in progress upon system time-out. The system adds the name AUTO-LOGOUT AUTO-SAVE and includes a date-time stamp for the work in progress.
Saved work in progress appears in two locations in the system and can be retrieved from either location.
