How to minimize forms to work on multiple records at once without losing your place

Minimizing a form means shrinking an open card down to a small bar on the screen, continuing to navigate to other parts of the system, and returning to it later exactly as you left it. In Jestor, this feature works for any form or card being edited.

The problem with getting stuck on a single screen

Anyone handling several processes at once — tickets, approvals, opportunities — usually has to choose between closing what they were working on (risking losing their input) or getting stuck on a single screen until they finish.

  • Minimizes without closing: the card turns into a reduced bar on the screen.
  • Input preserved: nothing is lost when you minimize.
  • Several at once: it's possible to have more than one form minimized.
  • Exact resume: reopens exactly where you left off.

How to minimize and resume a form in Jestor

  • Open a card or form: and fill it out normally.
  • Minimize when you need to step away: the card turns into a reduced bar, without closing.
  • Keep navigating: freely to other parts of the system.
  • Open another form if needed: it's possible to minimize more than one at the same time.
  • Resume whenever you want: click the minimized bar to continue exactly where you left off.

How to configure it in Jestor: there's nothing to configure — just click minimize on the open card; the form stays saved in the background until you reopen it or save it for good.

Why choose Jestor for anyone juggling multiple processes at once?

Teams handling several tickets or approvals simultaneously gain real fluidity with this feature: there's no need to choose between "losing your input" or "getting stuck on one screen" when a more urgent task shows up along the way.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to the input when I minimize a form? It stays preserved; when you reopen it, the form remains exactly as you left it.

Can I minimize more than one form at a time? Yes, it's possible to have several forms minimized simultaneously.

Do I need to save before minimizing a form? Not necessarily; the minimized form keeps its progress until it's closed or saved.
