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 treat the value as zero, and it will be stored as zero on the report.

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.

No matter which alternative you choose, you can review the data you entered before submitting the report. Download a PDF copy of your report using the Download Yearbook button in the upper right of the report pages.
