How do I exit a form?

On the device there are three ways to Save a form.  These then allow you to use the Release button to send the form back to the office:

  1. Tap on the phone's menu button within magic5 and use Save,
  2. Click the save icon, or
  3. Press the phone's 'back' button and choosing Save from the pop-up window.

Alternatively, you can add buttons to the end of the form to do the same thing - this might be clearer for some device users.  To do this:

  1. Open the template that you wish to change (from Setup/Maintenance->Maintain Templates).
  2. Find the part of the form where the button should go (maybe the end of the last section of the last page).
  3. Click Add item
  4. Choose Action buttons
  5. Leave the question blank and open the Button 1 tab.
  6. Type something meaningful in Text (eg Save).
  7. Select either Save and release form or Save form (no release).  The first saves and sends straight back to head office, while the second saves and awaits manual release or delete.
  8. Type 'save' into unique name.
  9. Click Save.

You can have up to 4 buttons so you may wish to add a cancel button as well.
