Saving an allowance event class

Once you have created or modified an allowance event class, and then verified its structure, you can save the allowance event class to either the database or as an XML file on your hard disk.

Note: After saving an allowance event class, you can no longer:

  • Modify the name of the allowance event class

  • Rename a property

  • Remove a property from the table

  • Change the type of a property
