Update mode - don't lose your record level field updates! 

When making updates to a record (i.e., you accessed the record in Update mode by clicking on the Update button on the module's LISTING screen) you need to be careful to click the module's Update button after making changes to any record level fields (e.g., text, drop-down, date fields). If you make record level changes and then go into an Assignment, or submodule section, you'll lost the record level changes you made! 


For example, in the Contract Management module, record level fields include: 

Contract Information tab: 

    Prime Contract Number text field 

    Closing Action drop-down 

    Closeout Date 

    Ignore Personnel Clearance when Assigning (Yes/No) 


Examples of submodule sections in the Contract Management module: 

Subcontracts/DD254/Supporting Locations tab: 

    SUBCONTRACT section - + Add New, View or Update of an existing record 

    SUPPORTING LOCATION / ACTUAL PERFORMANCE FACILITIES section - + Add New, View or Update of an existing record 


Assignments tab: 

    PERSONNEL section - Assignment or Unassignment of a record

    DOCUMENTS section - Assignment or Unassignment of a record


When you Add or Update or Delete a submodule level record, you do not need to click the Update button to the parent or module level record. Instead, you can click Cancel & Return and not lose the changes to the submodule level record. 


When you Assign or Unassign or Update info in the Assignment record from the Assignments tab, you do not need to click the Update button to the parent or module level record. Instead, you can click Cancel & Return and not lose the changes to the submodule level record.


Disabled Fields when updating a contract record

When you’re updating a contract record, certain fields may be disabled (can’t be updated) because the contract has been assigned to another AC record. For example, is the contract is assigned to a Visit Request record, you wouldn’t be able to update the Safeguarding field.
