Save data in the background for later use?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 356

Hello community,

 

I heard somewhere that it is possible to save data as follows:

I open the app on the phone. Enter data there that will be saved in a collection. Then the app is closed but the data remains in the background. The next time I open the app, this data is still there and I can continue working with it.

 

Is that possible? If yes, how does it work?
