DI 81010.055 Saving Data and Exiting Electronic Disability Collect System (EDCS) Cases
Navigating from one EDCS screen to another always saves what is on the current screen.
Selecting “cancel” on a screen causes you to lose any changes made to that screen.
To ensure that no data is lost, EDCS must be exited properly.
NOTE: If EDCS has “timed out” while in the process of completing a page, the data entered
will be lost. See Time Out Due to Lack of Activity - DI 81010.015 for more information.
The two ways to properly exit EDCS are (from the toolbar at the top of the EDCS screen)
to:
-
•
Close the case, which saves all data and returns you to the SSN search screen. Choose this
option if you want to continue working in EDCS.
-
•
Exit the case, which saves all data and exits EDCS. Choose this option if you no longer
want to continue working in EDCS.
