Role required: none

Procédure

1. Navigate to the form.
   If another user is looking at the same record, you see their avatar with a green dot in the form header. If more than one user is viewing the record, the avatar is a number, and you can point your cursor to it to see the names.
2. Enter appropriate data.
   Depending on system setup, the data entered in a form can affect other options on the form or change its appearance. For example, if you select a status of Closed for an incident, a required Close Notes field may appear. Administrators can create custom form effects in various ways, including UI policies and client scripts.
3. Save the record using one of these methods:
   • Click Submit or Update to save changes and return to the previously viewed page.
   • Right-click the form header and select Save to save changes without leaving form view.

   On Core UI forms, fields update dynamically and display a field update icon to indicate changes made by other users. You can point to the field update icon to see which user made the update. This dynamic indication helps to prevent users from accidentally overwriting each other's work.

   Remarque :

   If you entered a different value from the value saved by the other user, the system does not update the field automatically. Change your value manually to match value entered by the other user. Otherwise, you overwrite the change when you save the record.

Insert provides a method for creating multiple similar items, such as email notifications, users, groups, or business rules.

2. Do the appropriate action for your version of the UI.
   1. Click the more options icon () in the form header.

   If there is a conflict between the selected template and the form, a conflict message appears with a link to view the details of the conflict. For example, if a field that does not appear on the form is populated in the template, the conflict message details identify the missing field and the value is not set. If you have a conflict message, review the details and notify your administrator if necessary.
   Specific fields are populated with values from the template.
4. Complete the form.
   You can change any value that was populated from the template.
5. Click Submit to create the record.
