Insert and stay lets you stay on the same page and inserts the record. We generally use it of we have to insert multiple records with slight modification in each


Insert just lets you insert the record and moves to the previous page generally.




Same is the difference between save and update

Hi Rajesh,



Save a new record to the database instead of updating the current item, we are using insert or insert and stay.



  • Save saves the record and stays on form, while Insert creates a new record & redirects to list view.
  • Insert and stay creates new record and stays on the form, while Insert creates a new record & redirects to list view.


Insert options




Please hit like, Helpful or Correct depending on the impact of the response.

Hi,

 

Insert : creates a record and redirects to your last visited page (its not always to the list view).

Insert and Stay : creates a record and remains on the same page, usually we use this to insert multiple records.

Also, please note below points:

-The Insert and Insert and Stay options are disabled by default for task records such as incidents and change requests.

-You can set a system property to show these options for task records.

 

Thanks,

Sujata Vishwakarma
