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.
Offline Activities You Can Do
While being offline, you can do the following:
- Add notes to a work order
- Attach media
- View work order details
- Edit some of work order properties, for example, priority, work order number, scheduled date, etc.
- Trigger an Action Required note to be sent to those designated to receive them for the associated work order
You cannot check in to a work order while being offline.
Viewing Work Order Changes Made Offline
All the added notes and the updates made while being offline are captured on the Offline Job screen.
You can access the screen by tapping the Offline Log link in the lower-right corner of the home screen or by tapping the Device Is Offline message on an SC Provider screen you find yourself on when you lose your internet connection.
