Viewing Document Copies Offline

Laserfiche Mobile lets you save copies of documents to your local device for offline viewing. This lets users view important documents when they are not connected to cellular service or Wi-Fi.

Example: Chris is flying to Seattle for a business trip. He needs to make use of his travel time and review some case files while on the plane. While he has Wi-Fi in the airport, he selects the documents he needs to read and saves copies of them offline. When he gets on the plane, he can read through each case file without being connected to a cellular service or Wi-Fi.

Note: You will only be able to save offline copies of electronic documents (not Laserfiche imaged documents) if you are using a Laserfiche Mobile Server earlier than 9.2.1.

Note: Saving copies of documents offline does not remove them from your repository. These copies are read-only.

To save a copy of one document for offline viewing

Do one of the following:

While the document is open, press the ellipsis in the app bar at the bottom of the screen and press Save Copy Offline.
Swipe up or press the ellipsis in the app bar at the bottom of the screen. Press Select. Select the checkbox next to the document you want to save offline and press Save Copy Offline.
Note: Saving a shortcut for offline viewing will save the actual document.

To save copies of multiple documents for offline viewing

Press the ellipsis in the bottom right corner to display the options in the app bar. Press Select to display the checkboxes next to the documents. Select the checkboxes next to the documents you want to make offline.
Press Save Copy Offline in the app bar.

To access copies of documents saved offline

Press Offline Copies from the main menu on the left. Swipe right on the navigation bar at the top of the app to access the main menu. Alternately, press the back button until you see the main menu button in the top left. Press the main menu button, then press Offline Copies.
If you are not logged into the app, open Laserfiche Mobile to the Sign-In page, and press Access offline copies.

To remove copies of offline documents from your device

Press Offline Copies from the main menu on the left. If you are not in the root of your repository, press the back button until you see the main menu button in the top left. Press the main menu button, then press Offline Copies.

Passcode Protection

Copies of documents saved for offline viewing can be passcode protected. This ensures that sensitive documents will be secure in the case your device ends up in the wrong hands.

To passcode protect copies of offline documents

Press the main menu button in the top left. If you are not in the root of the repository, press the back button until you see the main menu button in the top left. Press the Settings button in the bottom left corner of the main menu.
Press Turn pascode on.
Enter a new passcode, then re-enter it to verify it.
Press Change passcode to change your passcode.

Note: If your administrator requires copies of offline documents to be passcode protected, you will be prompted to set up a passcode the first time you try to save a copy of a document offline. If you change the passcode, all copies of offline documents will be removed from your local device.
