The Safe Ag Systems App can be set to 'Offline Mode.' This is great when you're working in areas with low/no connectivity to improve the App's performance. Some areas of the App are unavailable offline.
Important:
- Emergency Alerts can't be sent while offline.
- No Notifications will be sent or received while offline. This includes to the person working offline or notifications to someone else resulting from an action completed when offline.
While offline, some features of the App aren't available. Any new or edited data won't be uploaded and available to others until connection is restored.
A pop-up will appear to alert the user that what they're trying to do is unavailable in offline mode. Examples of messages that appear are below:
