AroFlo Field features offline functionality that allows you to create tasks and record labor, material and expense information when not in a mobile service area. This information can then be either added to existing tasks or created as a new task when back in service.
Stay on current page
- Ensure you are in an area that has access to the internet before entering Offline mode (see below)
- While using AroFlo Field Offline, ensure you don't refresh the page or open a new session of AroFlo Field.
AroFlo Field Offline does not sync any existing Tasks for use offline. As such, all materials will be recorded as ad-hoc items.
