Saving Your Changes

  1. Make Your Edits
    Update the fields that need changing. Changed fields are highlighted with a subtle border.
  2. Review Changes
    Look over what you've changed before saving. The system shows which fields were modified.
  3. Click Save Changes
    Click Save to apply. All changes are logged in the activity history with your name and timestamp.

All edits are tracked. Every change you make is recorded in the client's activity log, including who made the change and when. This audit trail cannot be deleted.

Canceling Edits

If you change your mind, click Cancel to discard all unsaved changes and return to view mode.

Troubleshooting

Can't edit certain fields

Some fields (like Status and Location) are restricted to managers. Ask your manager to make these changes.

Save button is grayed out

No changes were detected. Make sure you've actually modified a field value. If the form looks stuck, refresh the page and try again.
