DiveTab Offline
NOTE: A 64-bit iPad is required for working offline.
IMPORTANT: Perform an initial Sync to cache the data while you are still online.
Keep the following in mind when planning to use DiveTab offline:
- Presentations and documents made available in their own areas and not stored in a repository are automatically accessible without an internet connection after the initial Sync.
- Files stored in a repository are accessible when they are downloaded locally to your device.
- Web pages cannot be accessed without an internet connection.
-
Static data pages, such as report pages without parameters or QuickViews, and overview pages, are immediately available for viewing. Ad hoc pages, cross pages, central pages, any pages containing QuickViews or parameters, and pages linked from the initial page are not immediately available for viewing. If these pages are accessed with an internet access, they are cached locally on your device and become available for offline use.
NOTE: This means that selecting dimension value Crowe for Report Page 1, leading to the central page Resp Team : Crowe can be accessed again when in Airplane Mode. However, since dimension value Higbee for Report Page 1 was never selected and never cached, it cannot be accessed in Airplane Mode.
- For ad hoc pages, DimCounts cannot be dived upon unless the results have been cached.
- QuickView selections must be accessed and cached for a page to use that particular QuickView selection later but become single-select only once offline.
- Central pages are available offline after being previously cached. All of the values are cached, so when preload=true, they are all preloaded.
- With no filters, it takes minimal time, but with too large of a cBase to download, the preload will take longer. Remove the tag if the cBase is more than 200 Megabytes to minimize the preload-sync time.
In short, information can be made available for offline use when it is stored, or cached, on your device.
