&lt;p&gt;You are on the right track with adding pop up messages as a warning to the user. Take advantage of the options within the &amp;#39;Show Message&amp;#39; action, for instance you can have a message &amp;#39;Did you save your data?&amp;#39; if the user clicks &amp;#39;Cancel&amp;#39; then they cannot proceed further and they can save their data then move on. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is no short cut way to achieve what you are looking to do, I can only suggest that you add &amp;#39;Show Message&amp;#39; to &amp;#39;Select&amp;#39; links and any button on screens that might navigate you away from the screen. Since Method is a web based application and is within a browser, we cannot control when users close out of the window or prompt them before logging out. &lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>"Force" Save or Action when switching customer records</title><link>http://forums.method.me/cs/forums/thread/3298.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 27 Aug 2010 14:22:23 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3393c1ec-311b-4812-96cb-ad8c611bba4f:3298</guid><dc:creator>shelley</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://forums.method.me/cs/forums/thread/3298.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://forums.method.me/cs/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&amp;PostID=3298</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Greetings,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ve noticed the&amp;nbsp;ease in which one may update a customer record, forget to save, and simply switch to&amp;nbsp;another record. All changes are lost without warning.&amp;nbsp;I was hoping to fix this issue before my users decided to jump into Method, but it&amp;#39;s too late now. I have created a pop-up message that appears on load to remind my users to save.&amp;nbsp;The message tells them that they can use &amp;quot;enter&amp;quot; to save.&amp;nbsp;It would be really helpful to be able to change the font of this warning message (it&amp;#39;s quite small and meek, not much of a warning), but&amp;nbsp;it gives me some relief&amp;nbsp;to know there is a reminder.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would like the act&amp;nbsp;of exiting a customer record as much of a&amp;nbsp;pain as it is to exit&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;customize screen&amp;quot; module. You cannot get out if it&amp;nbsp;unless you choose a command, which&amp;nbsp;invariably means&amp;nbsp;publishing or saving. You can&amp;#39;t just hit &amp;quot;escape&amp;quot; or log out. It won&amp;#39;t go away. How do I accomplish this with the records in the Customer list? I want to force our users to hit a button, &amp;quot;save&amp;quot; / &amp;quot;clear and new&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;save and close&amp;quot;. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks!&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
