When to use Offline Mode:
If you find that you keep losing connectivity inside a store, then it might help you to trigger Offline Mode, which will save a cached version of the Gig so you can complete your work without receiving errors about not being able to connect to the Gigwalk Server.
How to use Offline Mode:
-
Offline Mode can only be used in Gigs for which you are already accepted
-
While connected to the internet, view the Gig details page in order to save it in your cache.
-
Your Gigwalk app will automatically go into offline mode if you lose connectivity, but you can also force it into Offline Mode by putting your phone in airplane mode, which can be helpful sometimes.
-
While in offline mode, you should be able to access all of your cached gigs from the My Gigs screen or the main gigs screen. All of the data you upload is saved to your phone, so that you won't lose your cached data even if you quit the app completely.
-
After you've completed the gig, return to an area with good connectivity, (take your phone out of airplane mode if necessary), and allow the Gig to upload to the Gigwalk server. The Gig will upload to the Gigwalk server automatically after re-establishing a connection to the internet.

I tried to do a gig in offline mode today, still got message that Gigwalk could not establish a connection. So, I was unable to upload any photos or answer questions.
If this actually works this is a very usefull tool, personally I think you guys shoild teach everybody how to do this in one of your tutorials when they first start bcs i am just starting myself and if I had known this I would have used it every time once bcs the store was too crowded i would have waited a few hrs and gone and done something else and came back and another time it seemed like i was getting too much unwanted attention from employees i would have come back right when they opened the following day
