FAQ
How does it work?
Offline Mode lets you choose existing tasks to make available offline. This means you'll store a copy of the task to your own device which you can view while offline, and then once back in service, your changes are merged back into the existing, live task.
Can I view and record information to sync to original tasks?
Currently, you can view certain information for existing tasks, including task notes, and you can also create new notes. In future phases, you will be able to record further information such as labour and then sync them to the task when back online.
