Before you can work with offline assets/objects, you must first download the assets/objects that you are going to use. Downloading offline assets/objects requires that the Mobile Client is online.
- When the Mobile Client is online, select Offline assets/objects in the main menu.
- On the Offline assets/objects screen, you see a list of functional locations. If you've downloaded assets/objects for offline use before, you see a "Last synchronization date" at the top of the screen.
- Select the check box next to a location to download the assets/objects installed on that location. If you select a parent location, assets/objects installed on all related sub locations will also be downloaded.
- Select the right-arrow placed to the right on a functional location line to see sub locations. Continue to select a functional location until you find the sub location with the assets/objects you want to download.
- Note, it's recommended to only download assets/objects from the location you're going to visit. If you download too many assets/objects, a message is shown, asking you to reduce the size of the download by selecting fewer locations.
- When you've selected the relevant functional location, select the 'Download' button in the upper-right corner of the screen to start downloading the assets/objects.
- When asset/object download is completed, an info message is shown, informing you of the number of downloaded assets/objects. In the Last synchronization date field at the top of the screen, you see the date and time of the download and also the number of downloaded assets/objects.
- The assets/objects downloaded for offline use are saved on the Asset/Object lists screen in a list called Downloaded offline assets/objects.
- When you are at a remote location, or in an area with no internet coverage, select Assets/Objects on the main menu.
- On the Asset/Object lists screen, select the Downloaded offline assets/objects list, and select the asset/object you want to work with.
