Summary

Allows a user to recover data they entered but was lost due to a timeout, connection loss, error, or accidental click. This would be used on all info edit and form edit pages. No configuration or extra effort is required by the user. If recovery exists and the application determines it may be applicable, a recovery option is displayed.

Details

Architecture

  • This is an entirely client-side solution
  • the information is stored in the IE user data store

Control

(to do)

  • Checks on edit page load to see if it is needed by making sure:
    • There is saved recovery data and
    • Saved data is different from current data (an edit was lost) and
    • Save time is more recent than last field edit time (was not edited by someone else)
  • Clicking "Cancel" clears the save
