Users should allow adequate time to synchronize data on the mobile device prior to the start of work activities. Work sites vary by Project/Contract, and network connectivity is not always available or allowed in field locations. Job Connect allows Users to load data to their mobile devices, perform work and log updates via the device, and then upload those changes to the IMMS InfraLink server once network connectivity is available. It is important for Users to have on-line and off-line strategies for work performance. The routine and timely synchronization of data, between the mobile app and IMMS InfraLink server, is essential for the integrity of information available to the entire team. |
