Tips for Offline Inspections
- Regularly connect to the internet to ensure that your app has the latest templates and data cached for offline use.
- Be mindful of device storage when working offline, as completed inspections will be stored locally until they can be synced to the cloud.
- If you need to make changes to an inspection completed offline, you can do so before syncing. Once synced, the inspection will be updated in the cloud.
- In the event of any syncing errors or conflicts, the app will notify you and provide instructions for resolving the issue.
By leveraging the offline capabilities of the Visualogyx mobile app, you can maintain productivity and continuity in your inspection work, even in areas with limited or no internet connectivity. This feature ensures that you can capture critical data and evidence in real-time, regardless of your location, and seamlessly sync your work to the cloud when you regain internet access.
