Working Offline on iPhone

The Flow Capture iPhone app offers you granular control over what you make available for consumption when your connection to the web is going to be intermittent or nonexistent. Video, audio, stills, and PDFs can all be made available for in-app playback without internet access, which is handy if you're scouting in remote locations or flying cross country and have work to do. 

Permissions and Availability

The use of the Flow Capture app’s Offline feature requires you to be at least a Viewer with iOS Offline permissions in order to make assets available for offline playback. Any level of Downloader or Administrator will have this ability by default.

Assets that have been offlined within the app will expire after 90 days. If you'd like to customize this at either the Company, Production or Folder level, please reach out to Flow Capture Support.

Making Assets Available Offline

The first step in this process is navigating to the Folder that has the assets you're looking to download. You'll need to hop from the Inbox to the Assets tab and locate it from there.

Once you're inside the folder, click the 3 vertical dots next to that asset, which will bring up the "Make Available Offline" option at the bottom of your screen.

Once you click the "Make Available Offline" button, Flow Capture will begin processing the asset for offline viewing. Clicking on the "Offlining" button at bottom will bring up the progress bar, showing you how much time is left before that asset becomes available for offline viewing:

Viewing Offline Assets

Once assets have been made available for offline viewing, you can do so via the Offline tab. This is located in the left hand navigation section, directly below the Assets tab:
