Timeouts
Sometimes when it takes a long time (over 20 minutes) to complete a section of the form there may be problems with the form timing out. This can mean that any work you have recently input into the form is lost and will have to be re-input.
There are a number of things you can do to avoid this if you think it may take some time to complete a particular section:
- Before starting the section concerned always SAVE the form (see below for instructions on how to do this).
- If you are taking a long time to complete the section SAVE the form again before you reach the 20 minute limit.
- Alternatively SAVE the form and then write what you wish to say using the word processing package on your PC. Then when you are happy with what you have written, bring back your SAVED form and COPY the text and PASTE it into the relevant area of the form.
Saving your application form
You can use the "Save" function to save partially completed forms that you wish to return to at a later date to finish and submit.
To save a form you must first create an account (or use an existing account you have previously created).
You must provide a user name, password and email address to create an account.
The user name and password are required to access the account.
When you successfully save a partially completed form you receive an email. The email contains a web link that will take you back to your form. You must enter your user name and password before it displays the form contents.
You can of course save the form as many times as you need before submitting it.
If you wish to keep a copy of the form once you've submitted it there a number of ways you can do this:
- When you submit the completed form if you provided a valid email address as part of your personal details - an email receipt will automatically be sent to the address supplied. The receipt will have attached a copy of the submitted form in PDF format.
- Before submitting, click on the "Review" button and either save the html page locally on your computer and/or print a hardcopy.
- Again before submitting the form click on the "Printable Version" button which will then open up a copy of the form as a PDF document which you could either save locally on your computer and/or print out a hard copy.
You can print this page if you wish to refer to it whilst completing your form.
