The system syncs by itself: when the device gets its connection back, Owari Agro uploads what you saved without signal, in the right order, and tells you how many operations were synced. There are no files to export or buttons to press, and if something couldn't upload, it tries again later.
When it syncs
- As soon as the browser detects the network is back, with the app open.
- Every time you open a screen while online, in case anything was left pending.
With the app closed, nothing uploads: pending items wait on the device until the next time you open it with signal.
How what you recorded offline gets uploaded
- First, what other records depend on. If out in the field you created an employee and then their task, the employee uploads first and the task stays linked to them.
- One at a time. Each record is removed from the device only once the server confirms it was received.
- It tells you the result. A message says how many operations were synced. If the network failed, the notice says it will try again later. If the server rejected something because of the data or a permission, it stays saved for you to review.
If your subscription expired while you were offline, pending records aren't lost: they wait and upload when you renew. The app's usage analytics, which are also saved offline, wait until your records finish uploading and are then sent in small batches.
And the other way around: what others changed
The device's mirror copy (the offline mode) also keeps itself up to date without downloading everything again: when a real-time notice arrives, when you open each screen, when you return to the app and every few minutes while it's on screen. If the copy hasn't been updated for a while even though you're online, a notice at the bottom left tells you how old the last copy is.
An honest warning
Edit conflicts aren't detected yet. If someone changed on the server the same record you edited without signal, your version is the one that stays when it uploads and the other change is lost without warning. That's why it's a good idea to agree on who edits what when several people work on the same farm: we cover it in how to work as a team.
To see what the phone keeps in the meantime, see what the mirror table is.
