Some e-docs provide a tabbed section labeled ‘Required Fields For Saving Document,’ typically located on a default start page in multi-page e-docs.  When this is the case (as with the Proposal document, for example), there may be fields marked as required on other pages within the e-doc that are not necessary to complete for saving.

Your Selections May Make Other Fields Required:  Some selections for particular required fields cause other fields to become required, even though they are not marked as required.  For example, on the Proposal document, when your selection for the Proposal Type field on the Required Fields for Saving Document tab is “Renewal”, “Revision” or “Continuation”, the Sponsor Proposal ID field on the Sponsor & Program Information tab becomes required.  You are notified of this via red error messages upon validation or save.

Page Navigation Saving:  Making changes to fields on one page and clicking another page tab to navigate to a different page of an e-doc automatically saves them (without having to click the save button in between).  Just as with clicking the save button, if there are errors that prevent the save from occurring, they are displayed in red in the notification area (top, left of page) and you are prevented from navigating to the desired page until they are corrected.
