Offline Setup Requirements

If your 'My Documents' folder ('Documents' on Vista) is located on a remote server, DOVICO Timesheet's Offline Timesheet requires that your computer be configured to use "Offline Files" so that this folder is available when you are not connected to your network.

 

Note: To check if your 'My Documents' folder ('Documents' on Vista) is located on a remote server, right click on any file or folder in My Documents and select Properties. Select the General tab and find the Location field. If the location begins with \\ (double backslashes) then your My Documents is located on a remote server.

 

Warnings

  • If Offline Files are not properly configured, time entered while working offline may be lost when you reconnect to the system database.

  • Before disconnecting from a network, users should always synchronize their Offline Files. The instructions provided below will only synchronize the data when users log off their computers. Data protection cannot be assured if a user simply disconnects the network cable without first manually synchronizing or if a WAN connection is lost.
