How do I Backup Inspection Data Entered 'Offline' (or without Internet connection)?

Data entered offline does not automatically get saved to the database until you sync your data (once Internet connection is available); instead, all inspection entries are saved locally, within your browser. Unlike the application database, your browser data is not backed up for disaster recovery purposes so it is important to backup your data to another location. To do so:

  1. At the Contract Offline Checkout page, click on the ‘Offline Data Backups' button in the upper right corner.

  2. Click on ‘Download Offline Data Backup’. This will create a .json file that you can save to another location. Saving this file to a device off of your computer or tablet (ie DropBox, flash drive, etc…) is recommended in the event that your computer malfunctions or is destroyed.

  3. If you ever need to restore from this backup, simply browse and attach the .json file, then click on ‘Restore’.
