Saving the protocol

 

CAUTION When you edit a protocol, the changes take effect immediately. You must save the changes before you exit the VWorks software or the changes will be lost.

IMPORTANT You must have administrator or technician privileges to save a protocol.

To save a protocol:

Select File > Save.

If you just created a new protocol, the Save As dialog box opens to allow you to assign a name to the protocol before saving the file.

IMPORTANT You should regularly back up the protocol and associated components in case they become damaged or lost. For instructions, see Exporting and importing protocols and associated components.
