5.7 Saving the Service Definition
The configurations have to be saved before closing the Service Definition editor. This can be done in the following ways:
- Choose Save from the context-sensitive menu.
- Click Save in the RMA main toolbar, with the Service Definition editor window selected.
- Press CTRL+S, with the Service Definition editor window selected.
If the editor is closed with unsaved changes the user is asked if the configuration should be saved before it is closed, see Figure 37.
When choosing Cancel nothing happens and editing is still possible.
The Service Definition cannot be saved if any of the configured data is invalid. When the user tries to save an invalid configuration a notification is shown.
Changing a Service Definition can affect existing rating periods that are based on it. When the user tries to save a Service Definition that is in use, the editor warns that improper changes can make existing rating periods fail. It is possible to choose to Cancel the save or Force the upgrade, see Figure 38.
Existing rating periods using a service definition may be affected negatively by changes made to the service definition. For instance, if a condition or modifier plug-in used in the selection tree has been removed from the service definition or if a map group has no assigned key field, the tree is invalid (see Figure 39).
