When You're Offline

You can continue using OnTheGo while offline:

  • ✅ View cached orders
  • ✅ Update order status
  • ✅ Create new orders (Quick Entry)
  • ✅ Add journal entries
  • ✅ Create invoices

These actions are queued and will sync automatically when you reconnect.

When You Reconnect

  1. Banner turns blue: "Syncing..."
  2. Queued changes are sent to server
  3. Banner disappears when complete

This usually takes a few seconds depending on how many changes were queued.

If Sync Takes Too Long

Sync has a 30-second safety timeout. If it exceeds this:

  1. Banner will disappear
  2. Check your internet connection
  3. Refresh the page if needed
  4. Contact support if changes appear lost
