Tip of the Week: Using the Ignore Button in IAR

What should you do if you are modifying or adding a transaction in IAR but no longer want to save those changes?

Use the “Ignore” button instead of the “ET” button to exit a transaction without saving any changes. You will see a confirmation message prompting you to confirm your intent to ignore. By selecting“YES,” any changes made will be lost and the transaction will be returned to the IAR database in the same state it was initially retrieved. If you select “NO,” you will be returned to the most recent screen accessed and any changes you have made will still be present. While adding a new transaction, selecting “Ignore” means that no action will be taken, and the transaction will not be added to the sales report.
