Offline activities

The offline activities menu was developed to serve users who need to execute and document an activity in regions where there is no internet connection. In a practical and objective way, it allows the user to document their activity in offline mode and synchronize the information when a connection is available. The method used in this solution consists of:

1. Perform the download of an activity by sending it to the Offline Activities menu.

2. Fill out the activity even without an internet connection.

3. Perform the activity upload synchronization to update the data that was filled in, when there is an internet connection.

Important Rules!
* Permission settings for operations in offline activities are configured through the web platform.
* It is necessary to perform an “approval” in the online activity.
* It is necessary that the approver is the same user responsible for the activity.
* The user must be connected to the internet to download an activity and use it in offline mode.
* For offline activity data synchronization to online mode to be carried out, the activity “status” must be set to “completed” and the user must have an internet connection.

Downloading an activity to use it in offline mode

The first step to start the process of operating an activity in offline mode is to perform an approval, let’s see:

		Click in the Approval request area to open its editing screen. Approve – Click the “approve” button to start approving the request.
		Click in the Password field area and enter your Blue Service user password. Approve – Click the “approve” button to finalize approval of the request. Back – Click the back arrow icon to return to the activity form with the request properly approved.

After completing the approval, access the Offline Activities menu:

Click the Main Menu button. Click the Offline Activities menu.

Performing the activity download is very simple:

Synchronize – Click the “synchronize” button to download available activities. After synchronization, your activity will be available in the offline activities list; to access it, just click on it.

Important note!
* Whenever you download an activity, it will be shown only in the “offline activity” menu and no longer in the “activities” menu.
* Only activities listed in the “offline activities” menu can be operated without an internet connection.

After performing activity operations in offline mode, the next step is to perform the activity upload to update its data and return it to the “activities” menu. This process should only be done when there is an internet connection, and it is very simple:

		Click the desired offline activity to start operating it. After filling out your offline activity, click the Status field.
		Select the Completed option to end your offline operation. Click the back arrow to return to the offline activities list.

Uploading an activity to update data

Now to finalize the operation, let’s upload the activity that was operated in offline mode. To perform this step, you need to be connected to the internet, let’s see:

Synchronize – Click the “synchronize” button to upload completed offline activities. This way, all information filled in offline mode will be updated automatically. The finished activity leaves the “offline activities” list and becomes available in the “Activities” menu with all data updated.
