Offline inspections

Keep documenting when the signal disappears

Download the inspection first, keep supported field work on the device, and see what is offline, pending, syncing, synced, or failed when coverage returns.

Native offline field workflow on iPhone and iPad.

Adjuster Copilot — guided inspection progress with required photo categories and sections tracked
Available without a signal

The field record stays workable

Once the assignment is saved on the device, the inspection can continue through common connectivity gaps.

Saved inspection data

Assignments and inspection data already downloaded remain available when the connection drops.

Field documentation

Supported answers, notes, damage items, checklist decisions, and narrative text can continue locally.

Photos with context

Captured photos retain their inspection context on the device while their metadata and files wait to upload.

Signatures

Supported signatures can be collected on the device and queued with the inspection work.

Offline to confirmed

Bookend the inspection with a connection

The product separates device-saved work from server-confirmed work so the adjuster can verify the handoff.

  1. STEP 01

    Download

    Open the assignment while connected so the inspection data is saved on the device.

  2. STEP 02

    Inspect

    Continue supported field documentation when service becomes unreliable or disappears.

  3. STEP 03

    Reconnect

    Return with the inspection open so queued changes and photo files can begin sending.

  4. STEP 04

    Confirm

    Treat the handoff as complete only after pending work clears or failed items are retried.

Details and limits

Connected actions stay clearly separated

What still needs a connection?Download first; synchronize and confirm before final handoff.
  • Download an assignment or inspection that is not already saved locally.
  • Upload queued changes and photo files to the server.
  • Generate a new AI-assisted narrative draft.
  • Submit or resubmit an inspection and use connected report actions.
What should I check after reconnecting?Pending and failed work are never presented as safely synced.

Keep the affected inspection open, let synchronization run, and confirm the synced state. Use Sync Now or Retry if anything remains pending or failed. Sync Status also remains available from app settings.

  • Offline: changes are saved on the device.
  • Pending: queued work is waiting to sync.
  • Syncing: the active inspection queue is being sent.
  • Synced: the server has confirmed the handoff.
  • Failed: the item needs Retry or user attention.
How does this affect photos and AI?Photos queue locally; a new AI draft remains a connected action.

Captured photos can remain on the device until upload. Existing narrative text can be edited offline and queued, but generating a new AI draft requires connectivity. See Photo Documentation and AI Copilot.

Test the workflow before the next dead zone

Use a practice inspection, switch the phone offline, reconnect, and verify every state yourself.
