Working offline¶

You can perform all of the above operations offline; however you must have any information you are working with downloaded to your device (for example, if you are offline and a TEI has not been downloaded; you will not be able to update the record).

Working offline does have some limitations, especially when you are generating an ID. These ID's are downloaded to the device and it is recommended you do not enter > 500 records offline if you are generating a system ID of some kind.
