Troubleshooting: Expression App in Offline Mode

by User Not Found | Jul 14, 2016

The Issue

When logging into the Expression app you are presented with the alert message, "Device Offline". When the device is offline, returning guest, city, and start auto-population, and credit card memorials will not work. If using the registry in offline mode, all guest entries will be stored locally on each iPad and will need to be refreshed/uploaded (See Refresh App) to the dashboard when a data connection is established.

The Reason

Your iPad does not currently have a live data (internet) connection. There are a few reasons for this, either the iPad lost connection with Wi-Fi or cellular network, or the data connections are turned off in iPad Settings. There is also a possibility that the internet connection to your wireless router is down.

The Fix

Make sure you have a data connection (See Expression Service Selection > Types of data connections). If you are not connected to Wi-Fi (See Expression Setup List Step 1 > Connect iPad to Wi-Fi) and do not have cellular coverage, you will need to be connected before being able to pull new service data.
