How to View Contacts, Bookings and Orders Without a Connection
How to check client contacts, bookings and order details without an internet connection, using a synced local desktop vault.
Viewing contacts, bookings and orders without a connection works through a local desktop vault that already holds a synced copy of that data, so opening the app shows the same information you would see online, without needing a live connection at that moment.
Setting expectations correctly
The vault reflects data as of its last successful sync, not necessarily this exact second. In practice, that is rarely an issue, since most studios sync frequently while online and only rely on the offline copy for short gaps in connection.
What you can check
- A client's contact details and booking history.
- Upcoming and past booking times and locations.
- Order status and what was included in a package.
What still needs a connection
Anything that changes the live record, like confirming a new booking, updating an order, or sending a message, needs a connection to actually save. Viewing works offline; writing changes sync once you are back online.
Frequently asked questions
Can I see a client's full booking history without internet?
Yes, as long as it was synced before you went offline, which happens automatically in the background whenever the app has a connection.
Can I make changes while offline?
You can view data offline, but changes that update the live record, like confirming a booking, need a connection to save and will sync once you are back online.
How current is the offline data likely to be?
It reflects the last successful sync, which happens frequently while you are online, so short gaps in connection rarely leave the offline copy meaningfully out of date.
