9.1.3. Submit or Save

At the bottom of the New CAPA form, there are the two following buttons to consider:

1. Submit Form: This button allows users to submit the form.
   • In some cases, once the user has selected this button and been ejected from the New CAPA module, a pop-up window will appear with the following message:
     
     • This message serves to prevent duplicate CAPA IDs, should multiple CAPAs be created and submitted at the same time (or within seconds of one another).
       • For example, in the case that two users have submitted their CAPAs simultaneously, the following change (or lack thereof) will be observed:
         • For one user, the CAPA ID in the following stages of the CAPA workflow will be the same as the one displayed in this form.
         • For the other user, the CAPA ID in the following stages of the CAPA workflow will be one value greater than the number displayed in this form.
       • If the CAPA ID must be altered in any way, users will be informed in this message.
     • Users can click on either the Exit button (X) or the OK button to remove the window from the screen.
   • Once the New CAPA form has been submitted, the assigned reviewer will be tasked with reviewing the CAPA.
2. Save Form: This button allows users to save the form.
   • If saved, this form can be found in the Drafts folder (shown in the image below).
     • A saved form can be found in the Drafts folder if it is the first step in a given workflow. If it is a task assigned in the middle of a workflow, the saved form will remain in the Pending Tasks folder.
