E-commerce, mobile, and UX
How do I let field staff use an app when there is no internet connection?
Design the app to store the required job data on the device temporarily and queue updates until connectivity returns. Decide what can be edited offline, how conflicts are resolved, and which sensitive information should never be stored locally.
What to check
- What data must be available offline?
- How are offline changes synced later?
- What happens if two people change the same record?
