Automatically saving charts

You can choose to automatically save the charts you are working on, and specify the time interval at which the auto save occurs.

  1. Click File > Options, and then in the Options window click Options > Save
  2. Select the Auto Save checkbox and enter the time period in minutes. The default auto save option is set to save every five minutes.
  3. Select the folder in which you want Analyst's Notebook to keep the temporary files. Preferably choose a folder on your local hard disk, typically the C: drive.
  4. Click OK.

All your open charts are saved automatically at the time interval you specified.

Note: Automatically saving your chart does not display the Cover Sheet. It is displayed only when you click File > Save or File > Save As, or the On Save checkbox is selected in the Chart Properties window.

The auto save files are only restored when you start Analyst's Notebook after a failure. They are deleted when you close Analyst's Notebook normally. If you want to keep these charts, you must save them normally before you close Analyst's Notebook.
