Hey Shane. Thanks for this video. Can I access the data saved to dataverse from outside the application and download it for reports like on SharePoint?

Brilliant as usual Shane, thanks for this. Do you know if this offline capability will be rolled out for SharePoint as we don't have a licence for Dataverse?

I hope so, but they haven't said anything one way or the other. 😎

Another great video, Shane 💪 Out of curiosity, do you often use the "Add required objects"? I usually encourage colleagues to pay attention before using it. There have been multiple cases when lots of unwanted stuff has been added, and later, Makers had no clue why certain components are part of their solution

@ShanesCows 2 ай бұрын

I almost always use it. I find things tend not to work on the other side if I don't. Some times I get a bunch of stuff but my thought is it is needed. But if the way you are doing things is working then that is okay.

Hi Shane love your content however I have an issue where if I create a form that contains Dataverse lookup columns they don't populate in offline mode only in preview. If I select NewForm I also can't select them. When I check what is downloaded in the App both the tables related to the lookup columns are listed with the correct amount of rows. Microsoft state lookups are supported have you experienced this behaviour?

Thanks for the video! I've been experimenting with Dataverse Offline an it's good, but it still have a long way to go. If you jump to something a little bit more complex you find many gaps, some disclosed in the documentation and many that are not and you just find out when thing doesn't work.

Hi Shane, is it possible to add the auto-generated mobile offline profile to my solution. I can see it in the default solution but can't find a way to add it to my own solution. Thanks!

@jessicalu4707 Ай бұрын

It is really exciting feature. Thanks Shane for sharing. Just a question about conflict resolution: 1. if another user changed the same row, but different fields, will the change be reverted back? 2. If another user changed the same row, and same fields while I'm offline, when I'm back online, how power apps deal with the conflict?

Hi Shane! A bit off topic, but is it possible to Patch data conditionally to Dataverse lookup column? In my case I want to patch data to that column if condition is met, but Patch blank (or leave it as it is) if condition is not met?

@ShanesCows 2 ай бұрын

You could write an If statement and only patch if your criteria are met.

Thanks for the great video, Shane. If a user saves data when off line and exits the app. When does the data get uploaded? When the app is open and when on line? Also, can a user open the app when off line or does the app only start working when pulling data from the cloud? Thanks!

@ShanesCows 2 ай бұрын

Yes, the have to be online and the app open for it to sync. Yes, after that very first time "installing the app" they can alwasy open it while offline.

@tomka5050 2 ай бұрын

Thank you for the video! When the app comes back online and uploads multiple entries, will that be counted as one API call or will each row synced count as a separate API call?

@ShanesCows 2 ай бұрын

I am not sure, I will see if I can get you an answer. I am 99% sure each row will be its own call based on the way it is listed on the status screen.

@tomasfernandezmedel5346 Ай бұрын

Hi Shave. About Offline, how do you manage to avoid conflicts. User A set Question X as Yes, User B set Question X as No. What will keep?, The latest to reply? the latest to sync ? At present is use a Offline app with SP, When form is loaded I add a lock in the sp item, with that I can guarantee that sp item can't be updated by two users at the same time. Thank you.

Hello i am keep getting this error : Error when trying to retrieve data from the network And i cant find any solution, is it possible to help me ? I have this problem only on Filtered lookup and gallery

@tamasszanto714 Ай бұрын

Hi All! Great video and thanks for demonstrating this feature. I followed every step you made in the video, published the solution, and tried it online on an iOS device, and it works perfectly. However after mocking a connection error (such as turning it on airplane mode), after I make a change, and submit the form, I get a 'Getting your Data...' blank screen. After this I have to restart the application, and I actually see the changes in the table. This is bugging me out, after every submit form I get this 'error'/unexpected behavior. Did anyone encounter a similar thing using this built-in offline usage?

Hello Shane, i have been working on mobile offline for a while and I am facing an issue that when I update an existing value to blank on dataverse, it does not update to mobile devices. Opposite direction is working well. Have you tried something like that?

No, I haven't tried that scenario. If I get a chance to test I will but no promises. Sorry

Thank you so much for your videos, they have been a lifesaver for me! When it comes to virtual entities, would i be possible to have an app that has virtual entities that are not offline enabled AND have Dataverse entities that are offline enabled, in the same app. When I have tried this myself i get a network error when I load the app and the virtual entities are not loaded in the app but the offline enabled entities show up.

@ShanesCows Ай бұрын

I haven’t tried. Hmmm. I will see if I can point someone smarter than me here.

@TristanDehove Ай бұрын

It is indeed not yet supported in offline mode and the behavior that you reported is expected. We will look deeper into this and see how best we can address this business case.

@vedvoyager Ай бұрын

Is that a real offline app? Cause using the cache features I always got some problems. Yes! The cache works fine, but sometimes my app just did not open if you are offline and that sucks;

@SumitArora-zf3of 2 ай бұрын

What happens if the data have been updated in the dataverse when you were offline?Does it override the changes or fails or give error?

@ShanesCows 2 ай бұрын

I need to test that scenario, I did not. Hmmm

@TristanDehove 2 ай бұрын

If the updates are on the same row but different columns, they are merged. However, it the updates are on the same column, the last one wins. So if a column is updated in Dataverse while you are offline, and you also make a change on the same field, when you reconnect the app to the network, your modification will be stored in Dataverse.
