Offline mode
Do not clear browser data before offline records sync
Important safety advice for protecting offline records.
Offline records are stored on the device you used to create them until they are uploaded.
Do not do these things before sync
Avoid doing the following before offline records have synced:
- Clearing browser data
- Clearing site storage
- Removing the installed web app
- Switching to another browser and expecting the pending records to be there
- Factory resetting the phone
- Deleting the browser app
Real-world example
A shop assistant records sales offline on a phone. Before the phone reconnects, someone clears the browser data to free space. The pending offline records may be removed before they are uploaded.
Safer habit
If you have used Bizwazi offline, reconnect the same device to the internet and allow the records to sync before clearing anything.
Main benefit
This helps avoid losing records that were safely waiting on the device.
