Save button best practices and caveats

  • If possible, use a Button Set component or Page Title component to create a universal Save button at the top of the page instead of having individual save buttons on each field editor and table component on the page.

Note:  This approach will not work when saving information in a page include using a save button on the parent page.

  • While the Button Set component is generally the best option, it may be necessary to use a Page Title button bar for certain pages. Note that Nintex Apps for Salesforce only displays validation rule or trigger errors for components if the initiating Save button is on a component tied to the model being saved. For example, if the Page Title is on the User model, but the Save button saves Opportunity items, error messages returned by Salesforce for the Opportunity data will not display. The fix: change the Page Title's model to Opportunity.
