Offline Mode (Forms & Time Tracking)

Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

Overview

Coperniq keeps you moving when you’re offline. Anything you do without internet is saved on your device and syncs automatically once you reconnect—no manual sync needed. .Offline access works for tasks that were already loaded on the Home page while you were connected.

Offline Status Indicator

When the app detects that the device has lost its internet connection, a notification bar appears at the top of the screen displaying:

"You're offline now"

Working While Offline

Forms

While offline, users can:

• Complete all supported field types (text, numbers, dates, dropdowns, person selection)

• Attach photos and files

• Edit and save form data

All updates and attachments are stored securely on the device and uploaded automatically when the connection is restored.

Previously opened forms remain accessible. Forms that were never opened while online will not be available offline.

Time Tracking

Time tracking functions operate normally while offline, including:

• Start Traveling

• Clock In

• Clock Out

• Timer functionality (continues running without interruption)

All time entries are saved locally and automatically synced when connectivity returns.

Viewing Previously Loaded Data

Users can access:

• Tasks that were previously opened

• Form details that were already loaded

Any screens or records that were not accessed while online will not be available offline.

Task data remains accessible offline for up to 24 hours after it was last loaded.
