Introduction
When taking inventory, some areas in your venue may have a weak wi-fi connection, or no connection at all (cellars, fridges, etc.)
This isn’t an issue, because the WISK mobile app can scan, count and even create new items entirely offline.
All of your data is saved locally and then transferred to the cloud when your device reconnects to the internet.
Note: You only need to have a network connection when you begin the inventory count.
Checking Offline Data
When taking an inventory count, the mobile app tracks how many operations haven't synced with the server.
If you have offline data, you'll see an "Unsynced offline operations" message on the area selector screen.
If you minimize the app, the number of unsynced operations also appear on the app icon.
Unsynced operations only appear on your device. Items you counted while offline won't appear on the web, or on devices of other users taking inventory.
When you reconnect to the internet, the message clears when the data is synced with the server.
Multiple Users & Offline Mode
If you have multiple users participating in an inventory count, all of the counts synchronize when the offline device reconnects to the internet.
In the example below, items in an area are counted in the WISK mobile app while offline. As soon as the device connects to the internet, the counted items appear in the summary of the area on other devices/browsers.
