Readiness, Quick Capture & Offline Sync
Run readiness assessments on mobile, capture evidence with the camera, and understand the offline sync indicators.
Readiness, Quick Capture & Offline Sync
The mobile app is built so field reviewers can complete readiness assessments and capture evidence even without a connection. This article covers the assessment form, quick capture, and the sync status indicators.
The mobile assessment form
Open an assessment from the Assessments tab. The form layout shows:
- •Top bar — assessment name, progress text (
5/10 answered), and a Submit button - •Progress bar — horizontal fill of completion percentage
- •Domain tab bar and Control area tab bar for navigating sections
- •On tablets, a sidebar listing every domain and control area
Answer each question in sequence. Responses save to local storage automatically and sync when a connection is available.
Quick capture (evidence)
For evidence questions, two capture buttons appear:
- •Camera — opens the device camera to record a new photo or video
- •Gallery — picks an existing photo or video from the device
After capture, the file is shown with its fileName and a scan status badge. The badge maps to the persisted scanStatus field, which can be one of: pending (scan in progress), skipped (malware scanning disabled in this environment), clean (safe to use), malicious (download is blocked and the file is rejected), or error (scan failed — re-upload). Submit the response when the badge reads clean or skipped.
Offline sync status (Save status bar)
A persistent Save status bar at the bottom of the form reports the current sync state:
| Indicator | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Saving... (blue loader) | A change is being persisted now |
| Saved (green check) | All local changes are saved and synced |
| Save failed (red alert) | The last save attempt failed; tap to retry |
| Offline (amber wifi-off) | No connection — work continues, nothing is being sent |
| Offline — changes saved locally (amber download) | Offline, but every change is queued in local storage and will sync automatically |
Submitting
When every required question has an answer, the Submit button enables. Submission requires connectivity — if offline, the app holds the submission until the connection returns and shows the queued state in the save bar.
Tips
- •Capture evidence as you go — quick capture attaches files directly to the question, avoiding a separate upload step later.
- •Trust the offline mode: changes are persisted to device storage and reconciled the moment the device reconnects.
- •If you see Save failed, check the API server status page before re-submitting; transient failures auto-retry.
