New button added to the Psychiatric Supervisor Report

The Psychiatric Supervisor Report is a multi-user form completed by both the trainee and either an educational or clinical supervisor. It is typically submitted at the end of a placement and has a number of sections which can take time to complete. With forms of this length & complexity, it's all too easy to find yourself in a situation where your session on Portfolio Online has timed out due to inactivity and the form you have been working so hard on hasn't been saved. The Portfolio Online development group got together to tackle this problem and the Psychiatric Supervisor Report now has a brand new button at the end of each section for trainees and their supervisors to 'save progress'.
