    • What does user do when there is an error? Must be able to Cancel (instead of Undo)
    • Back retains data (as previously)
    • Confirmation dialog if data may be lost
  • From application to desktop to application
    • Exit or Back exits the application (after a confirmation message) and takes the user to SAP Easy Access.
    • Choose different application when in an application (Favorite)
    • Cancel empties the data entry fields (after a confirmation message) and enables the fields for object selection.
    • Note: Cancel does not leave the application.
