Save a file
You need to save your proposal regularly when using the Regulatory burden measure. You do this by clicking the Save to your computer button.
This will always bring up the save pop-up, where you find a place to store your file and name it.
Name your file
Always choose a clear and easy to understand file name. This makes it easy to identify later.
It's best to add the date you created the file to the file name. It's also good practice to add a version number.
A good file name might be: Proposal1_20080528v1.
The name tells you what it is, the date tells you when you created it, and the version tells you how many times it's been changed.
Note: This is a guideline only. Your department / agency may have its own file name convention for you to follow.
Where to put it
Your department / agency will have guidelines on where to save your files.
