Hi Rodolfo,

unfortunately you need to be online when opening the data entry screen.
However, as long as you keep the browser window open, it will work. You can
also hibernate your computer, meaning you can resume work offline after
hibernating if you don't close the browser window.

We are planning to improve on that later. Currently we don't store data
set->org unit associations etc offline. The limitation is that local
storage in browsers has been pretty limited in terms of space, now that the
indexeddb spec is being widely implemented we will have more options.

regards,

Lars
