Working Offline In A File And Sharing The Same User Number

When Can I Work Offline?

If you work offline and you share a user number the ‘File In Use’ button will not appear as there is no internet connection to detect the file is open.

When you are working offline ensure you inform other users not to edit the file at the time you are offline. The other user can continue to open the file as Read Only to view data. This avoids duplicate files.

To save the changes you have made in the file whilst you are using it offline you need to reconnect to the internet and your file will backup to File Manager - you will see a revised file in File Manager with the date and time that it was backed up.

You should not share your Agrimaster login details with your accountant or consultant.

Best practice is to share the file via File Manager. If they do not use Agrimaster ask them to contact our sales team and we can organise access for them.

Who Should I Inform When Working Offline?

If you intend to work offline let the other users know not to edit the file at this time.

What Should I Do If The Internet Drops Out?

If you lose internet connection whilst you are working in the file, let other users know not to edit the file at this time. You may continue working on the file offline.

To save the changes you have made in the file whilst you were using it offline you need to reconnect to the internet and your file will backup to File Manager - you will see a revised file in File Manager with the date and time that it was backed up.

When Should I Use Read Only?

You can open a file in Read Only to view data and run reports in Agrimaster whenever you want to. Any changes made to the file will NOT be saved.

When you close the file you have open as Read Only no record is added to File Manager history so you will not see a new version of the file.

What To Do When Someone Else Is In The File

You can open a file in Read Only to view data and run reports in Agrimaster whenever you want to. Any changes made to the file will NOT be saved.
