ALEX is not saving what I entered on the Finances page

Conditions

  • You are using Safari as your web browser.
  • You are completing the Finances page of the ALEX Yearbook report.
  • You enter data, like Local Operating Receipts or Building/Capital Receipts on the Finances page.
  • You click Save and Continue.
  • When you return to the Finances page, some or all of the data you entered is zero.


The Issue

When using Safari, if you type commas into a numeric field, like '189,600' for example, Safari will not save the value, and will be stored as zero.


Alternatives

  • Enter the values without commas, like '189600'.
  • You can use comma separators while typing to verify the correct value, but remove them before clicking Save and Continue.
  • Use a different browser, such as Chrome. However, Chrome ignores non-numeric characters, like commas, so it's harder to verify large values.
