# OpenLayers.Strategy.Save

### Properties

### events

{OpenLayers.Events} Events instance for triggering this protocol events.

### auto

{Boolean | Number} Auto-save. Default is false. If true, features will be saved immediately after being added to the layer and with each modification or deletion. If auto is a number, features will be saved on an interval provided by the value (in seconds).

### timer

{Number} The id of the timer.

### Constructor

### OpenLayers.Strategy.Save

Create a new Save strategy.
