Having a mobile workforce means that your workers could be working on sites that are in remote locations with little or no mobile reception. With Offline Mode in the Fieldworker App users can still access the app without any issues.

Automatic Offline Mode (Fieldworker Version 5.0+)

Note: We currently do that have offline support in Daily Log.

Whenever the Assignar mobile app loses internet connection, the app will automatically engage offline mode and fieldworkers will still be able to complete timesheets and forms when they are out of cellular range.
Once the device regains an internet connection, timesheets and forms will be sent straight away.

 

Actions Currently Supported While Offline

  • Create timesheets

  • Complete forms.

  • View allocations (v 5.3.3+)

  • Dockets

Notes

  • A red banner shows at the top of the app while ever it is offline.

  • Signatures do not show while the app is offline, though they are captured.

  • Emailing timesheets and form results is not currently supported in offline mode.
