[Notes] introduction and use of autosave

1. autosave Introduction

As the name implies, autosave is used to automatically save documents that you have not saved. When a client experiences an accident, such as power failure or system crash, it can help restore unsaved emails, messages, documents, and so on.

Autosave periodically detects the edited documents and saves them to a local encrypted database. When you save this document, it will delete the corresponding document from the local encrypted database.

When using autosave, note that it only works for documents that enable the "allow autosave" option in form attributes.

2. Enable the "autosave" Function

1. Open the Notes client and select File-preferences-user preferences.

2. In the "startup options" Area of the "basics" tab, enable "autosave every X minutes ",

 

Note: here you can specify how many minutes to automatically save the document. The default value is 15 minutes.

3. Click "OK" to save the settings.

After "autosave" is enabled, it automatically saves the edited document at the specified interval. You can also manually save this document and select File-autosave now.

 

Autosave automatically saves these documents in a local encrypted database. The database file name format is as_xxx.nsf.

Note: autosave stores all automatically saved files in this database. When the original document is saved or sent, autosave deletes the corresponding backup file.

3. Restore unsaved documents

If the automatically saved documents have not been restored, when you start the Notes client, it will prompt you whether to restore the automatically saved documents. Of course, you can also manually recover the service by selecting file-autosave-Recover autosaved documents,

 

In the displayed "Recover unsaved documents" dialog box, we can choose to restore or delete automatically saved documents,

 

4. Summary

Autosave is a simple and practical tool. As a user, you can set it on your own Notes client. To deploy the function to all users' Notes clients, the administrator can use the policy to deploy the function.
