Confirm Save
Additional validations are completed when saving changes on the Status tab. If SupportAbility detects that five or more fields are empty, a notification window will pop up to confirm that the save is intentional. This prompt is designed to prevent Staff Members from making and saving unintentional changes such as clearing data from the free text fields.
