Setting up Auto Save
The auto save feature in IBM® iNotes® automatically saves the body of mail messages created by users so that drafts and changes made to them are maintained should users forget to save them, or if something happens to their workstation (for example, a crash or power outage).
About this task
Auto Save is on by default. Auto Save occurs at a default interval of 1 minute of idle time, or 10 minutes of active time. Idle time refers to the elapsed time since the document was last edited or created. Active time refers to the running elapsed time since the document was last edited, without any intervening idle time of the 1 minute duration. All of the contents of the message including, but not limited to, the body, will be saved in the Drafts folder. Users see a status bar message when the message is saved.
By default, users see this setting on the Basics tab in their Preferences, where they can disable it.
The notes.ini setting INOTES_WA_AUTOSAVE enables or disables the preference setting in the client user interface and disables Auto Save.
The notes.ini setting INOTES_WA_AUTOSAVE_IDLEINTERVAL specifies the idle time interval. Default is 1 minute.
The notes.ini setting INOTES_WA_AUTOSAVE_ACTIVEINTERVAL specifies the active time interval. Default is 10 minutes.
