Select the Save command to save your evaluation to a file. If you're working on an evaluation that has been saved on the ValuSource server, the file will be updated automatically. If you're working on a new evaluation and haven't saved it yet, or if you saved the evaluation to a file on your computer, BESWeb will present the Save File As Controls. See below.

Save As

Select the Save As command to save the evaluation under a new file name. BESWeb will present the Save File As Controls. For help using these controls, see the steps below.

If you're saving the file on your computer, enter a name in the File name text box.

3. Click on the Save button. If you're saving the file on your computer, your web browser will ask if you want to open the file or save it. Select to save the file, then assign it a file name.

If you save evaluation files to your computer, you may want to save them to a folder that only contains BESWeb files. That will make it easier to find your evaluation files when you want to open them.
