9 | Navigation buttons |
| Submit & Next button | Click to submit the form and advance to the next form in the visit. When you click the Submit & Next button, you submit the form.

If you click the Submit & Next button on a form with unchanged data or on a read-only form, the form data is not stored in the database and the browser advances to the next form in the visit. The next form loads automatically even if it is created dynamically during the submittal of the current form. When you click this button on the last form in a visit, a message box appears stating that the current form is the last form in the visit. Note: The Enter key provides the same functionality as the Submit & Next button on CRFs.
