Required Fields for Saving Document

A self-explanatory section, the seven fields collect a minimum amount of basic information to uniquely identify the new document. Once filled out, you have the ability to click the global save button at the bottom, center of the screen. A successful save provides you with the ability to sign out of KC and return at a later time to continue to populate other fields in the Protocol document.
