Syntax

save() : boolean

save(force:boolean) : boolean

save(force:boolean, makeresponse:boolean) : boolean

save(force:boolean, makeresponse:boolean, markread:boolean) : boolean

Parameter	Description
`force`	If true, the document is saved even if someone else edits and saves the document while the program is running. The last version of the document that was saved wins; the earlier version is discarded. If false, and someone else edits the document while the program is running, the `makeresponse` argument determines what happens.
`makeresponse`	If true, the current document becomes a response to the original document (this is what the replicator does when there's a replication conflict). If false, the save is canceled. If the `force` parameter is true, the `makeresponse` parameter has no effect.
`markread`	If true, the document is marked as read. If false (default), the document is marked as unread.

Return value	Description
`boolean`	True if the document is successfully saved; false otherwise.

Examples

This button creates a new document in the current database and appends an item named Subject with the value of a requestScope variable. The requestScope variable is bound to an edit box that the user fills in before clicking the button.

var doc = database.createDocument();
doc.appendItemValue("Subject", requestScope.subject);
doc.save()
