  2. Tap the "Install JobFlow App" banner on your dashboard.
  3. JobFlow installs on your home screen like a normal app.
  4. This is a PWA — no app store download needed. It updates automatically.

📶9. Working Offline

  1. BEFORE going to site: open JobFlow while online and open each job card you need. The job details cache to your phone.
  2. You can view job details, add parts, edit hours, and get signatures — all without signal.
  3. Amber badges mean "queued" — your changes are saved locally and will sync when you reconnect.
  4. Photos require internet (too large to cache) — take them normally when back online.
  5. When you reconnect: JobFlow automatically syncs everything. No manual steps needed.
  6. To check status: any amber badge = still syncing. Green = all synced.
Tip: Open JobFlow at the workshop before heading out — your jobs pre-load for the day. Everything you edit offline queues up and syncs silently when you're back in range.

📋10. What Works Offline vs Online

  1. ✅ OFFLINE: View job details, edit description, add parts, record hours, take signatures, update status.
  2. ✅ OFFLINE: Trip log entries, additional findings, equipment notes.
  3. ❌ NEEDS INTERNET: Uploading photos, searching across all jobs, AI features.
  4. When you go back online, all your queued changes sync automatically. The amber badges disappear.
