Working offline

Taking the data onto the device, the offline switch, waiting changes, conflicts and what signing out does.

With offline mode you keep working without a network. Your accounts' data then lies on the registered device; what you change waits there and goes out by itself as soon as you are online again. Offline mode belongs to an account's package.

Taking the data onto the device

1 Once you registered a device, the app offers to take the data along: Download all.

All offline data downloaded — from now on it works without a network too.

The offline switch

1 At the top, the status shows whether you are online. 2 With Offline mode you work offline on purpose, before a location without a network, for example.

1 Offline, a bar shows how many changes are waiting. 2 They go out by themselves as soon as you are online again.

1 What needs a connection, the media pool for example, is locked offline and says so.

Signing out does not work offline — the waiting changes would be lost.

When two people change the same thing

If someone changed the same thing while you were offline, the app shows both versions. 1 Choose per field, 2 or take All mine, 3 then Resolve the conflicts.

Signing out

Signing out deletes the offline data from the device.

What happens when …

When …then …
the network is goneyou keep working; changes wait on the device and go out as soon as it is back.
you show several accounts and only one has offline modework goes on with that one, and the bar says only in the accounts with offline mode. If none has it, the app waits for the connection.
a project is taken from you — you left the team, another department, taken out as a clientthe app reads its lists again at once; what you may no longer see is gone offline too. Changes not sent yet stay.
that happened while the browser was closedthe app notices it on the next start and reads the data again.
a change arrives twice because the answer got lost on the waythere is still only one entry.
you change something offline that someone has deleted meanwhilethe conflict dialog shows that it was deleted on the server.
you sign outthe offline data is deleted from the device.

What only works with a connection

Offline you work with everything that is on the device: projects, scenes, shooting days, call sheets, roles, locations, tasks, budget, contracts, daily and sound reports, your times. What needs a service, a file from the server or a second person, on the other hand, is locked offline and says so:

Media poolfiles
Uploading, playing, previews — the files are on the server. What is already linked stays linked.
Signingcode by e-mail
Releasing contracts for signature and signing them: the confirmation code comes by e-mail.
