Saving a Scheduling Script

The Save operation stores all the parameters of the scheduling scripts in the Forsta database.

The CATI Supervisor prompts you to save the scheduling script each time you modify any of its parameters on any tab in the bottom right frame – the Save button in the bottom right frame toolbar starts flashing when you do that. It is a good idea to save the script periodically while you edit it because all unsaved changes are lost in case a power failure or other problem occurs.

The Save operation does not enable the script (does not “launch” it – see Launching a Scheduling script for details). It only stores the script – as a draft, so to say. You may edit the saved script later on, or delete it, or use as a template for creating other scheduling scripts.

To save a scheduling script:

1. While you are creating (or editing the existing) scheduling script click the Save button in the bottom right frame toolbar. The bottom right frame refreshes, and CATI Supervisor displays a message informing you of a successful script save.

It is recommended that you click the Save button each time it starts flashing - this is CATI Supervisor prompting you to save the changes you have made to the scheduling script.
