Capturing data offline

Filling in a form

You can capture data using the Flow app online of offline. There is no difference in how you fill in the survey form and submit it. Because you are offline, the data points will be in the submitted status (orange icon). You data is securely stored in the memory of your device in a private folder that is not accessible. This will not change to the synced status (green icon).

Uploading your data

To make sure the data gets uploaded to Flow's database, when you can then see the data on Flow's online space or export the data, you can do two things:

• Connecting to a network. One option is to connect your device to the network what will trigger the submitted points to start uploading.
• Offline upload. You can get your data out of the device and to a PC fully offline. Then you can upload the data file to your online workspace using the bulk upload tab (this step requires connection as the online workspace does not work offline.)
