Personally, I think the best option is on add page after saving - go to the new record in edit mode. On edit page after saving - stay on edit page. |

Personally, I think the best option is on add page after saving - go to the new record in edit mode. On edit page after saving - stay on edit page. This obviously forces the user to save before walking away, but in my opinion, this is something they need to do. No different that saving a word document often as you work on it.

@hudster https://xlinesoft.com/blog/2014/05/19/how-to-implement-auto-save-feature/ ..., for inspiration purposes purposes only. P.S. Citing excerpt: http://asprunner.com/forums/topic/20684-auto-save-in-php-runner/ In a very simple form you can make your Save button to be clicked once every few seconds or minutes. To do so add the following code to Javascript onload event of the Edit page: setTimeout(function() { $("#saveButton1").trigger('click'); }, 5000); I have to add that this will be a terrible usability issue if not done right. Proper implementation need to save data behind the scene and, best of all, in a temporary table/record. Unfortunately there is no 'one size fits all' solution here. It all depends on what your application details and how people use it.

https://xlinesoft.com/blog/2014/12/19/how-to-split-addedit-pages-into-several-subpages/ Citing excerpt: Fairly often we want to split long forms into several steps letting users fill a few fields on each step. Besides making a long form easier to fill out for your users you can also save partial results between pages. Unquote A mix out of multi-step pages (under custom view) and per step oriented SAVING of data, say, might be a compromise anyway ...
