Save Data

After you enter data, you can save the data back to the server and recalculate summary level e.List items. You can open this e.List item again at a later date.

If you entered a value into a cell that has a validation rule defined, and that value is outside the bounds of the specified validation rule, a warning message is shown when you attempt to save the plan. You must correct the data before you can save it to the server.

Steps
  1. To save data on the server, click Save.

    If errors are identified during the validation process, they are summarized in the Validation Error dialog box, which shows the location of any of the failed rules.

  2. If the Validation Error dialog box appears, double-click the item in the dialog box.

    The pointer moves to the first offending cell in the Web grid.

  3. Make the necessary changes.

  4. To verify that the data entries or changes conform to existing business rules and data-format restrictions, from the File menu, click Validate Data or click the Validate Data toolbar button .
