Offline mode

Importante

Odoo’s offline mode is not intended to offer full or long-term offline capabilities, but rather to provide a solution for short-term interruptions.

To ensure business continuity when connectivity is unreliable or unavailable, such as when commuting or while working in locations with poor or no coverage, Odoo makes certain data and functionality available offline for logged-in users.

As soon as the internet connection is no longer active, a Working offline button appears in the database header. Views or records that were previously opened while online can be re-opened, regardless of whether they were active in the browser at the moment connectivity was lost. Previously opened records can be viewed but not modified while offline.

Elements that are not available offline, such as menu items, views, buttons, or other records, are automatically grayed out.

In addition, search queries that were previously performed while online are also available offline. To repeat a previously performed search, click in the search bar, then choose from the available searches.

Dica

If you foresee connectivity issues, briefly open any views or records you expect to need, and perform any searches so they can still be accessed if/when connectivity is lost.

Nota

  • Odoo supports offline access for apps and modules built using standard Odoo framework components.

  • For performance reasons, Odoo allocates a maximum of 2 GB for offline data. When this limit is reached, the oldest data is removed to make room for the most recent activity.

  • Performing a hard refresh using Ctrl + F5 or Cmd + Shift + R, e.g., for troubleshooting reasons, removes all locally stored data. This impacts the availability of views and records in offline mode.
