The On Save rules are checked when you save a record. Rules are client-side scripts that are executed when a user of the mobile app interacts with the app. Rules are no-code business logic, which are managed using the rules editor, usually in Woodford.

On Save rules are available for the following user interface components:

Process of On Save execution
