Buttons
You work in PTC FlexPLM using a web browser. The browser has buttons that help in navigation as does each of the pages presented to you by FlexPLM. The navigation buttons presented by the application should always be preferred over the use of the browser navigation button.
These buttons presented in various pages include:
Back
Cancel
Close
Return
Next
* 
While editing a form or a page, if you click the Back button, the action may cause loss of data.
The Next button typically appears in a multi-step function, and directs you to the next required page to complete your action. Exceptions are noted in the documentation for the pages on which they appear.
The Cancel and Close buttons close the current page or window you are viewing. The Back and Return buttons typically return you to the previous page, without saving any changes you might have made. Exceptions are noted in the documentation for the pages on which they appear.
