Save project files |
Saves all changes that you have made in the XML Forms Builder to the server. Note that changes are only visible in the portal after you have generated the project (see below). By default, the system carries out a project check on saving.
Local copy If saving to the server fails, perhaps because a network connection is temporarily unavailable, the system prompts you to save a local copy on your PC. This prevents changes from being lost due to a temporarily unavailable network connection. As soon as you have successfully saved the project to the server, the system invalidates the local copy.
