Commit Records/Requests
Purpose
Commits a record or find request.
Format
Commit Records/Requests [Skip data entry validation; No dialog; Force
Commit]
Options
• Skip data entry validation overrides any data entry validation options set for fields and
commits the record anyway. This option only skips validation for fields set with the Only
during data entry validation option in the Options for Field dialog box; fields set to Always
validate will still validate, even if the Skip data entry validation option is selected. For more
information on field validation, see Defining field validation.
• Perform without dialog prevents a dialog box from displaying when the script step
executes that asks the user to confirm the commit action.
Note Perform without dialog only applies when Save record changes automatically is
cleared in the Layout preferences.
• Override ESS locking conflicts allows clients of ODBC data sources to force-commit
changes when optimistic locking otherwise prevents the commit action. ODBC data sources
are also referred to as external SQL sources (ESS).
