Offline or sync behavior of an app
An AppSheet app is required to sync with a data source to get updates made by other users. It also needs to sync to save the changes made in the app to the data source. The Offline/Sync settings on the Behaviors tab allow you to set the sync behavior of the app in line with how the app users will use an app.
When an app is connected to the internet, it is referred to as being used in online mode. On the other hand, when the app users use an app when it is not connected to the internet, the app is referred to as being used in offline mode. It is sometimes necessary for an app to work offline, especially for apps used in remote worksites or locations where internet connectivity may not be available.
You will need to configure the sync settings to ensure the proper behavior of the app in online or offline usage without loss of data or impacted user experience.
Let us now examine the various sync behavior settings of an app.
