Configure offline support

If your administrator has enabled offline support, you can select the Offline Support option on the Preferences screen (iPhone) or on the LiveCycle Settings screen (iPad). When this option is selected, you can continue to use LiveCyclewhen your device has no WiFi or mobile connectivity.

When offline support is enabled and you lose connectivity, you can continue to use any tasks, forms, or documents that are on your device. When you submit a task or form, it is saved in your queue. To see the contents of your queue, tap the Queue icon. On iPhone, tap menu at the bottom of the screen and then tap . On iPad, the Queue icon is at the bottom of the main menu:

When you regain connectivity, LiveCycleautomatically submits all queued tasks and data to the server.

A few tips about working offline:
  • Some forms contain an Update button that connects to the server to perform calculations and validations and then updates data in the form. If you tap an Update button while working offline, you get an error message because the server is unavailable.

  • When a server connection is restored, items in your Queue are automatically sent to the server. If a queued form contains a validation error, the server returns it to your Queue.

  • If you disable offline support while you are offline, all pending tasks are returned to your Tasks list. All items in your Queue, including pending forms, tasks, and forms containing validation errors, are deleted from the Queue.
