Auto Save every 10 min minutes (similar to Word Docs)

Description
Currently, there is not a way for a user to back up data that has been inputted into DPAS M&U and are still trying to complete the transaction, before their 15 minute time is up. So any data inputted before clicking update is lost, and is very time consuming to re-enter. Especially, if the Work Order has numerous Sub Work Orders.

Recommended
The ability to have DPAS M&U auto save (like Word Docs) every 10 min would be a great add on to the program. This will ensure that users have time to input information or make updates without worrying that they don't have time, and make a mistake or if they get called away mid-transaction. Also, the fleet management personnel might have to stop mid way during the profiling, utilization update or work order process to retrieve additional information.

Mission Critical
This is critical, this will give adequate time for the user to input data accurately and without concern of losing information already inputted. Currently, the inability to save data is not user friendly to daily operations.

Benefits
This would benefit users (having the security of not losing data); increasing productivity and maintenance leadership getting the most accurate and up to date maintenance information of assets in maintenance in a timely manner.

Users
This SCR will affect the entire AF Agency, all fleet managers/maintenance controllers utilize up to date information for day to day fleet management purposes.
