Understanding Change Confirmation (Developers, System Administrators)

Change Confirmation creates the opportunity to verify a find, ok, and cancel execution after a modification has been made on a form or editable grid. When Change Confirmation is enabled on a form it prevents the accidental loss of data.

Change Confirmation is available on the following form types:

  • Fix/Inspect Form

  • Header Detail Form

  • Headerless Detail Form

  • Power Edit Form

  • Reusable Edit Subform

If Change Confirmation is enabled on a form for the OK button, the OK button will be disabled when the form is loaded. If the user updates a field on the form, the OK button will be enabled and the user can save the modification.

When the form or an editable grid is updated and the user clicks the FIND button a confirmation message will appear stating:

Clicking find will discard your changes. Proceed anyway?

When the form or an editable grid is updated and the user clicks the CLOSE or the CANCEL button a confirmation message will appear stating:

Clicking close will discard your changes. Proceed anyway?
