To take data offline, you must first login to the app in an area with WiFi and select the clients, skills, and behaviors that you plan on working with offline for that day or session. Once you’re logged in again in an offline area, the app will recognize and allow data collection ONLY for the clients, skills, and behaviors that were selected in an online area. Other clients (not selected with wifi) should be dimmed and not enabled for data collection.
