Managing Sessions & Activities Offline Mode (Caching)

Overview

The Check-In App supports offline mode through local caching, allowing event staff to continue managing sessions and participant check-ins even when the device loses internet connectivity. In offline mode, users can access session lists, view participants, and perform check-ins. All actions are automatically synchronized once the device reconnects to the internet.

Step-by-Step Approach

1. Open the Check-In App

• Launch the Check-In App on your device.
• If the device is offline, the app automatically switches to Offline Mode (Caching).

2. Access Sessions & Activities

• Go to the Sessions & Activities menu.
• The app loads cached session data that was previously downloaded when the device was online.
• Select any session from the cached list.

3. View Participants in Offline Mode

• Once a session is selected, the list of participants stored in cache becomes visible.
• You can scroll, search, and filter participants based on the offline data available.

4. Perform Offline Check-In

• Click on any participant in the list.
• Select Check In to mark the participant as present.
• The check-in is stored locally on the device until connectivity is restored.

5. Continue Working Without Internet

• You can move between sessions, open participant details, and perform multiple check-ins.
• All operations are saved to local storage and do not require an active connection.

6. Automatic Sync When Online

• When the device reconnects to the internet, the app automatically synchronizes:
• Check-in records performed offline
• Participant updates
• Session-related changes
• A confirmation message may appear if sync is successful.

7. Limitations to Keep in Mind

• Only data previously cached while online is available offline.
• Newly created sessions or participant updates made in the backend are not accessible until the device reconnects.
