What This Video Covers

This tutorial shows field teams how to use offline mode in the Matidor mobile app to continue working on projects when there is no internet connection. Offline mode downloads project maps, GIS layers, and project data to the device before going into the field, allowing work items to be created, files uploaded, and data captured at remote sites — all of which sync automatically when connectivity is restored.

Who This Is For

This video is essential for field technicians working at remote sites with limited or no cellular coverage, environmental consultants conducting field assessments in areas with poor signal, oil and gas crews working on well sites or pipelines in rural areas, and any Matidor user who cannot rely on a consistent internet connection during field work.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

The tutorial opens the Matidor mobile app and navigates to the Projects panel. You tap on a project and locate the Enable Offline Mode toggle. Once enabled, Matidor downloads the project map, active GIS layers, project details, and existing work items to local device storage. The download area can be expanded if you need offline access to a larger geographic region — for example, a project corridor or a multi-site inspection area.

With offline mode active, the tutorial shows you creating a new work item, attaching a field photo, and entering data while completely disconnected. An offline banner at the top of the screen indicates that changes are pending sync. All changes made offline are stored locally and uploaded in the correct sequence when the device reconnects, preserving the audit trail and timestamps of when field work was actually performed. The tutorial concludes by showing how to disable offline mode for a project once field work is complete, freeing up device storage.

Key Takeaways

Offline mode in Matidor removes internet dependency as a barrier to field data collection. By enabling offline access before leaving for a site, field teams can create work items, capture photos, update status, and log data regardless of connectivity — and everything syncs seamlessly when they return to coverage.
