Manage Offline Inventory
Introduction
You can use offline item information to create item forecasts and item registrations. This is useful if you work on maintenance jobs in remote areas with limited or no internet coverage. For example, the offline inventory can be used in a remote warehouse or as a stock list in your service van.

Use Offline Inventory
When you've set up which items should be in your offline inventory, and the device is offline, searching will automatically search in the available offline items.
If your device is online, you can still search in your offline inventory by selecting the switch My Inventory. When the offline inventory module is enabled, this switch is also available when searching for Items.
