A practical checklist
- Sign in with a connection and allow authorized farm downloads to finish.
- Check the download state rather than interpreting an incomplete screen as an empty farm.
- Open an important field record and attached image before departing to confirm device access.
Before traveling to a remote field, the operator waits for the farm download to complete and checks a maintenance photo needed for the job. The image remains available after the phone loses coverage.
What to avoid
A device cannot obtain its first farm download without a connection. Data added remotely after departure cannot appear until the device reconnects.
