On the app home page, the end user can enable offline use (circled in red) and then choose which data containers should be available for access offline.
When an app built with RecordsManager is running on a mobile device, it may be useful to enable offline use to continue working when an Internet connection is not stable or altogether unavailable. This can be useful for field workers on the road, during airline travel, and so on.
The user can choose for the entire app to be available when working offline or just specific containers. Data for the selected containers will be transferred to the user’s device for offline use.
The end user can continue to view existing records and even add new records during offline use. When an Internet connection is restored, the user has the option to save any newly added records or discard them.
To preserve data integrity, existing records are read-only and cannot be edited during offline access.
On the app home page, the end user can enable offline use (circled in red) and then choose which data containers should be available for access offline.
