When the technician goes back on line, the app synchronizes the updates, and sees that there is a conflict.
During the time she was offline, John Doe called the office to report that his water heater was now leaking, and the office changed his priority to high. Because she is offline, her modifications are stored in the offline edits in the local cache. When her device is connected, she expects the app to synchronize her offline modifications with the server, first synchronizing the essential information, such as job status, and then synchronizing the less essential information, such as her notes.Īfter an unexpectedly long repair, the technician lowers the priority for customer that is the furthest away, John Doe. She expects to be able to do all these tasks even when she doesn't have access to the internet. As she completes a job, she attaches notes to the incident report, and she updates the job status. As soon as the device reconnects to the internet, the app should transmit the report and the attached photo to the server.ĭuring the day, a technician reviews her job list, sorts the jobs by priority, driving distance, and issue type, and adjusts the priorities as needed. Even though there’s no internet connection in the basement, the app should enable the customer to access, change, and send the incident report. She then goes to the basement to take a picture of the furnace's barcode, attaches it to the report, and taps Send. For example:Ī customer uses an FiF mobile app to fill out the details for an incident report regarding a basement furnace. The mobile app developer wants to ensure that the apps continue to work even when there is no internet connection. Using the Synchronization Library to Enable Edits to App Data When the Mobile Device Is OfflineĪs an example of how you can use the Synchronization library to enable app users to read, create, update, and delete data when the mobile device is offline, consider some apps that are designed for the Fix it Fast (FiF) company, which maintains in-house appliances. (:_employees) identifies a subcollection and indicates that all response objects must be stored in the client cache as children of the specified deptId. If the object’s deptId property is a string, then you’d use /mobile/custom/myApi/departments/:deptId? instead. (\\d+) indicates that the path parameter value must be numeric. Works with any REST API where the resource name alternates between plural nouns and singular resource identifiers (rid), such as /items/
