PowerApps without an internet or data connection

Hi Community,

 

If a tablet device that is used to capture data in a PowerApps does not have a signal, the PowerApps will not work, right? Or will it store the responses and when the device takes a data connection again, will they be loaded?.

 

Thanks for the clarification¡.

    Hi @Francisco77 

    In order for a canvas app to work offline, you would need to build this functionality into your app.

     

    With a Dataverse data source, this is relatively easy to setup.

    With other data sources, you would need to call the SaveData/LoadData functions to cache your data, and to update the live data source when the device becomes online.
