How To Save A Run Order

It is always a good idea to save your work often. The save button is in the main toolbar.

The icon is the floppy disc

To save your work click the save button.

If this is the first time you have saved your run order Windows Explorer will open and you can select where to save. The file extension is .awp

You can also save your work at any time by clicking CTRL+S

When you have made an edit to your run order, but have not yet saved it, the save button will be white.

When you have made an edit to your run order, and then save it the save button will be grey in colour.

As soon as you enter text into the text editor pane, a run order header will automatically appear in the title bar as *Untiltled:

When you have saved your work, this will be renamed with the title you used to save the script.

For example, when we save the run order as "First Script" the title bar will show this:

You will see that the star "*" has now been removed.

The * will be displayed whenever an edit is made to a run order without it being saved.

This is a reminder that your work needs to be saved.

If you would like to save your work as an additional version, or with a different title, click the arrow next to the Save button and select Save As:

If you have made changes to your run order and try to close it, or the application, without saving first, you will see a warning message:
