The HT Mobile offline mode allows users to walk throughout a site, completing an inspection, without worrying about losing connection. HT Mobile works online and offline with no interruption to the end user.
In short - we handle the connection, so you can concentrate on the task at hand.
This article covers:
- How offline mode works
- How to know when you are offline
- How to sync your data
- Functionality not available in offline mode
How offline mode works
Offline mode in the HT Mobile requires no setup required from you. This feature is built into the app itself, therefore as soon as you start using HT Mobile, you will have both online and offline capability available to you.
Once a project has been selected, the HammerTech Inspect app will sync all data for that project. After this, you will be able to work in offline mode.
How to know when you are offline
No matter which screen you are on, the HammerTech Inspect app will display the following message when you are in offline mode. As soon as you are online again, the message will disappear.
How to sync your data
The HammerTech Inspect app has an automated synchronisation (sync). This means that when you have been working offline - all you need to do is get connected and the app will automatically sync your data straight to HammerTech (web).
Just remember to get connected!
Functionality not available in offline mode
