Saving and Loading Form Values

The Submit Job page allows you to save frequently used values and load them back in when you want to complete a job submission form with similar values to the saved form. Not all pages can save and load form values. Your administrator must configure the saving and loading feature on specific pages. Additionally, you must have the appropriate permissions to perform the save or load actions. If you have the appropriate permissions, the Save and Load links appear at the top of eligible forms.

Saving a Form

To save a form, follow these steps:

1. Fill out the form with your desired values and click the Save link.

Values that are empty are not saved to the database and remain empty when the saved form is loaded in the future.

2. In the Save Form dialog box, fill out the following fields and click OK:
   • ID - This should be a unique value for the saved form values.
   • Description (optional) - This describes the content of the saved form values.
   • Category (optional) - This defines the category the saved form values should be saved under. The category can be used to organize many saved form values and allow others to easily find the form later.
   • Access Type - This defines who has access to load the form.

The user that saved the form is the form's owner and will always be able to load the form regardless of what permissions are set. If another user with the necessary permissions overwrites an existing form, that user becomes the new form owner.

Loading a Form

The forms you have access to are retrieved from the server and organized by category. Forms without a category are shown as top-level branches in the selection tree. Clicking a form template automatically populates the "Description:" field at the bottom of the form.

When you load a saved form, all values that were not specified by the saved form are set to their default values or made blank. You can load a form, modify it, and then save it again to apply changes to it.

To load a form, follow these steps:

1. Click the Load link.
