can someone explain the difference between save and insert?

I find it quite odd when people specify about these two words " save " and " insert"

Hi,



'Save' will save the changes made on the current record and remains on the form view of the current record.


Whereas 'Insert' will create a duplicate record of the current record and will take you back to the list view.


'Insert & Stay' is simillar to 'Insert' but it will bring you to the form view of the duplicate record created.



Thanks,


Tanaji

Hi Rahamathullah,



Insert is like you want to insert any new record and where as save works like an update operation for the existing record.

Save - Saves the current record you are on.


Inser - Creates a new record from current record you are modifying. Current record remains as it is. Once you click, you are redirected to previous page.


Insert and Stay : Creates a new record from current record you are modifying. Current record remains as it is. Once you click, you still remains on the same page.
