Preparing to Work Offline

You may work offline by selecting Work Offline from the File menu in any mode. When you do this, OfficeTalk will display the Work Offline wizard, showing the Details page. This page lets you choose which type of data you wish to bring with you from the main database to the offline database.

You may specify which user's information to copy by selecting the Users item and pressing the Details… button. The Users dialog box will appear, showing a list of the users in the workgroup.

For each user, you may choose whether or not to copy the following data:

Tasks

Appointments

Mail

Notifications

Events

Viewed Planners

User Links

You can do this by selecting the relevant user from the list and pressing the Details button. This will display a list of user related data types from which you may choose.

You may also select whether or not to take down resource data, planner data, project data, meeting data and contact data. Selecting any of these items and pressing the Details… button will display additional dialog boxes letting you select sub components. For example, if you select the Planners check box and press the Details… button, an additional dialog box will pop up showing a list of planners to choose from.

When you press Finish, OfficeTalk will copy all the selected data and will then ask you to confirm whether or not you wish to log onto the offline database.

If you press No, OfficeTalk will close down. The next time you log onto OfficeTalk you will automatically be logged onto the offline database. If you press Yes, OfficeTalk will log you onto the offline database.
