Guidance and Best Practice for Working Offline
Working offline might be helpful for you if the following are true:
- You work in an area where internet connectivity is inconsistent or not available at all.
- You are usually the only person updating a given project or set of projects at any one time or multiple planners or schedulers might be making updates in a project or set of projects at the same time, but each is working on data unrelated to the data others are updating.
Working offline might not be helpful in your organization if any of the following is true:
- Multiple planners or schedulers typically make updates to the same data in project or set of projects at the same time.
- Your team requires updates to the schedule to be available in real time.
While a user is working offline, changes to certain data can cause them not to be able to switch to working online. To ensure users who are currently working offline are not prevented from switching to working online, avoid making changing any of the following data if any user might currently be working offline:
- User details
- Global or project security profiles
- OBS assignments (both for users and for projects)
- Resource security
