We released the version 2 of hauler application that supports for offline storage. Now the user can manage(create, edit, delete) tickets even there is no internet connection and can upload the local changes when connection is back.
When upload button is color orange, it mean there are pending changes that is not yet uploaded to the server. When it is white, it mean you don't have any changes and most likely it is synchronize with the server.
Some features of the app requires internet connection and so you'll see the no internet screen as shown above if you open up for those features. Thus the following features needs internet connection
- Manifest printing needs server capability, you'll encounter warning when you try to print manifest and the app is not connected to the internet.
- Map view ticket entry will not work too, if the app not connected to the internet. The maps is not downloaded locally so it won't work.
- Managing your producers and plants needs to have internet connection too,
Make sure that before you go offline, you should login first because it will require internet connection. After successful login, your authentication information is stored locally so you can use the app with internet connection
You can "pull-to-refresh" the ticket screen to get the latest tickets from the server. But if you have local changes and try to pull, there will be a warning that your server data will overwrite your local data so you have to sync it first.
If everything else is not working, you can reset the database by going to Settings --> Database. Also if you think that your route information is not updated, you can update it from database setting. The routes information is being refresh every time you open the app, as long as there is an internet connection.
You can verify if you are using version 2 by going to Settings --> About. You should see version number that starts with 2, (e.g. v2.1.1 as shown on the image above)
