Working Offline in the Mobile App

One of the most powerful features within the SafetyOne™ mobile app is the ability to work offline. Perform observations, mobile forms and toolbox talks even when you are not connected to the internet through cellular service or a WiFi connection.

This is the reason why, when you first log into the mobile app, there is a spinner that sometimes takes a bit to load. It’s loading all of the required information so you can immediately start to work offline.

The only modules that may not work offline are Policies and the File Cabinet. If any of the documents in these modules have been opened previously on your mobile device, then, while offline, you will be able to open the version of these documents that were previously opened.

If you try to open these documents for the first time offline, a message will be displayed that “A problem occurred while downloading your file.”

You will need to download this file once you are back online.

When you are offline, you will notice that there is an animated juggler over images. This alerts you that the information is being synched or will be synched, once an internet connection is reestablished.

You will also notice in the top left corner a Synch Manager icon. Click on this icon at any time in order to see what information has not yet synched to the server.
