BAconn supports a true offline mode for the most common mobile actions. You can keep working without a connection — changes are stored locally and uploaded automatically once you're back online.

What works offline

  • Change application status (Kanban drag & drop)
  • Set pool status (candidate / active / shortlist / placed / inactive)
  • Change a candidate's availability
  • Write or edit interview notes
  • Read lists that were previously loaded

What does NOT work offline

  • First-time login (an existing session stays valid 7 days)
  • Creating new jobs, candidates, or applications
  • BA sync, WordPress sync, Indeed push
  • Billing, plan changes, admin area
  • Migration / CSV import
  • Images, new detail pages you haven't visited yet

Workflow

  1. Online: open the lists you'll need on the go — they're cached automatically.
  2. Offline: status changes accumulate in a local IndexedDB queue. A yellow "Offline · X" pill in the header shows how many writes are pending.
  3. Back online: BAconn auto-syncs in the background (Background Sync API). A toast confirms: "X changes synced".
  4. On conflict: if the record was changed by someone else meanwhile, the pill turns red ("X conflicts"). Click to open a dialog showing your offline version next to the server version — you pick which one wins.

Conflict dialog

Three options per conflict:

  • Force my version — overwrites the intervening server change with your offline version. Use when you're sure your change is more current.
  • Take server version — discards your offline change, keeps the current server state. Use when a colleague already updated correctly.
  • Discard mine — same effect as taking server, less ambiguous when both versions look identical.

Local storage

The queue lives in the browser's IndexedDB (~50 MB on iOS, more on Android/Desktop). Under My Account → Offline mode you can see current usage and clear the queue manually — use carefully, this discards pending changes.

If sync doesn't start

Browser sync should fire automatically. If not, click the status pill in the header → "Sync now". If that also fails, the session has usually expired — sign in again, then click "Sync now".
