Save Form Layout will save the size and/or position of a form or the width or order of columns. The next time you open the form, it is the same size and position when you last opened it.

Clear fields on save will present a blank screen when the save button is selected rather than displaying the most recently entered data. This is especially helpful when entering multiple AP Invoices or creating new vendor records.

Apply Offsets on Save and Post will activate the Automatic Offsets feature that will be applied when clicking the Save buttons.

Use enter key to move between fields will move the cursor to the next field (like the tab key). The enter key, by default, will “press” the bottom button on the form which is typically a save button.
