        Description:
        Using AutoSave

        Working with AutoSave involves the following:

        Enabling AutoSave on the client
        Enabling AutoSave on a form
        Normal AutoSave operations
        Recovering your autosaved document

        The following sections explain these activities in detail.
        Enabling AutoSave on the client

        AutoSave is not enabled by default when you install Notes 7.0. The reason it's not is that users may not know what’s going on when they first see AutoSave in operation. Also, some users may be using a slower machine, on which "autosaving" large documents may take significant time. So, if you want to activate AutoSave, you must enable it through a new option in the User Preferences dialog

        We've added a checkbox to enable/disable AutoSave, and also a field to set the timing interval. This interval can be anywhere from 1 minute through 999 minutes. These AutoSave user preferences options correspond to three variables in the client's Notes.ini file. The following table shows which options map to which Notes.ini variables:
        Notes.ini setting User preference setting
        AUTO_SAVE_ENABLE = n When set to 1, AutoSave is enabled. When set to 0, AutoSave is disabled.
        AUTO_SAVE_INTERVAL = <mins> Sets the interval between autosaves.
        AUTO_SAVE_USER,<Abbreviated User Name>=<Database name relative to the data dir> Resolves naming conflicts (see later in this article for an explanation).
