Offline Log

The Offline Log feature of ServiceChannel Provider allows technicians to add notes and media to work orders while they are not connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data. The Offline Log is a useful feature, especially when technicians find themselves in a blind spot in a facility where they cannot get access to Wi-Fi or cellular service. 

When you are out of Wi-Fi or cellular data range, a message, outlined in orange, will appear, notifying you that your device is currently offline.
