Stop Data Entry

To stop data entry press Esc or Ctrl+S; click Stop Button on the toolbar; or from the Mode menu select Stop. This function has no effect if you are already stopped. Stopping add, modify, or verify will make an entry into the operator statistics file.
If you are at the beginning of a case or have not made any changes, the session will end immediately.
If you have started, but not completed entry/modification/verification of a case, two or more of the following choices will appear depending on the mode of data entry and whether partial save is allowed:
OptionDescription
Partial SavePartially save the changes you have made so far and remember the field you are on, so you can complete the work later. Available only if partial save is possible. In add and verify mode, all ID fields must have been entered.
FinishFinish the case and save the modifications you have made. Available only in modify mode.
DiscardDiscard all the changes you have made since you opened this case. Always available.
CancelCancel this operation and return to entering the case. Always available.
