When you enter data on a form, the data is not saved or processed until you click the Submit button. It is important to submit your data as soon as you have finished entering data, in order to prevent accidental loss of data due to an automatic logout (caused when your Time & Attendance module account is idle for a long period of time) or an unforeseen event (such as a power outage).

In addition to saving your data, clicking Submit also initiates certain Time & Attendance module processing. For example, when you click Submit, the Time & Attendance module runs certain validations to check the validity of your changes. If there is something wrong with your entries, you may receive an error message after clicking Submit.

If you make changes on a form and do not click Submit before attempting to leave the form (for example, by drilling down to another page, clicking a tab, or clicking on a link in the navigation stack), you will receive a message warning you that any changes you have made will be lost if you continue. If you want to save your changes, click Cancel on the warning dialog and then click Submit on the form.

Notes:
The feature that provides a warning when you are changing pages without having saved your data only works when you use the Time & Attendance module navigational elements to change pages. Although you will lose any unsaved data if you use your browser features (for example, the Back button) to navigate to another page, the Time & Attendance module cannot provide a warning in these situations. ADP recommends that you avoid using your browser navigation tools (Forward and Back buttons, Go To features, address bar, address history, etc.) when you are viewing an active Time & Attendance module page.

If you have entered data onto a form but have not clicked Submit, you can use the Cancel button to clear the data you have entered. The Cancel button discards any changes you have made and closes the pop-up window on which it appears.

Multiple-selection fields appear as lists and allow you to add more than one selection to the field. To reverse a selection in one of these lists, select the entry you want to remove and click .

Some forms will have other buttons (for example, Insert and Delete). Because these additional buttons vary from form to form, they are described in the Online Help in the sections that describe the specific procedures that use them.
