Save a Recipe

You can save changes to an open recipe. You should save a new recipe after you create the recipe header.

To save a recipe

1. From the File menu, select Save.

   The Save Recipe dialog box appears.

   

2. If this is the first time that you are saving a recipe, type a unique identifier in the Recipe ID box (16 characters maximum).

   If you enter a Recipe ID that is not unique, a warning message prompts you to overwrite the current version.

3. In the Author box, type the name of the recipe author (30 characters maximum).

   All subsequent changes to a recipe require you to enter an Author.

   Note: There are occasions when either the Recipe ID or the Author is automatically supplied. The Recipe ID is supplied when the current recipe has already been assigned an ID. You can change this information at any time. The Author is supplied when the batch security system is enabled and the Recipe Editor author function has been assigned to require security clearance. In this case, a security clearance is required whenever you click Save.

4. Optionally, type comments that describe any details or changes that you want to document.

5. Click Save.

   Tip: You can copy a recipe by saving it with a unique Recipe ID.
