Zoho FSM | Using FSM Mobile Offline

Using FSM Mobile Offline

The Offline Mode of the Zoho FSM Mobile app enables you to access the data in your mobile app even when the internet connectivity is poor or non-existent. The offline mode of the Zoho FSM mobile app will come into effect when the offline mode is enabled and there is no internet connectivity. The offline mode is supported in the following versions of the mobile app:
  1. Android app (Version 1.6.0 and above)
  2. iOS app (Version 1.2.66 and above)
When the offline mode is enabled, the following takes place:
  1. Details of the latest (by Created Time) 200 service appointments will be cached to be made available offline. Related details of these service appointments like Service Reports, Time Sheets, Trips, Notes, and Work Orders will also be cached to be made available offline.
  2. This automatic caching of the mobile app data will be scheduled for 8 am daily.


 Available in Editions: Standard, Professional, Premium

Enabling the Offline Mode

In the iOS app, by default offline data will be automatically cached at 8 am daily. However, in the Android app, to enable the offline mode, do the following:
  1. Log in to the Zoho FSM mobile app.
  2. Click Settings in the left menu.



  3. Click Offline Mode.



  4. Enable Offline Mode.


Once the offline mode is enabled, the data for the offline mode will be fetched and stored in the device's internal storage.



You can also manually perform the caching of offline data using the Sync Now option. The Sync Now option will be available in the left menu only if the Offline Mode has been enabled.

     

Automatic Data Synchronization

When the offline mode is enabled, automatic caching of data will be scheduled for 8 am daily. This scheduled data caching will not be executed in the following scenarios:
  1. The user has logged out of the mobile app
  2. The user hasn't used the mobile app for three days continuously
  3. There is no internet connectivity
  4. Any settings (e.g. battery optimization) in the phone that restricts such activity
The offline data will be lost when the user logs out of the mobile app.

Using the Offline Mode

When internet connectivity is not available, the offline mode will come into effect. To access the cached data for offline use, simply tap on the Reload option located at the bottom of the screen. Click Proceed in the confirmation message.

     

In the offline mode, users will be able to view the details of the appointments in READ-ONLY mode.
  1. Details of the latest (by Created Time) 200 service appointments will be available offline. Related details of these service appointments like Service Reports, Time Sheets, Trips, Notes, and Work Orders will also be available offline.


The offline mode will offer functionalities in a diminished capacity. No editing of data will be allowed. Refer the table below for the details:
