Maintain for Mobile Applications
Hi,

Has anyone used Maintain to develop applications for Mobile devices yet?

If so, I'd be interested to know how you've managed the scenario of capturing "offline" e.g. when a person is out in the field, capturing info, where there is no connectivity to the backend Maintain server. And then, when they're online again, to sync/upload that data onto the server.

Thanks,
Twanette

Hi Twanette
Did this ages ago for a Mobile POD.

Maintain runs non-persistent. The Submit button ran an ajax call, which would return something or not. If not displays an alert message but does nothing, if gets a return does the form submission.

Crude, but worked, as long as user did not close browser!
