Users: Logging in to LegalServer Offline in a Browser

While logged into LegalServer, simply click 'Work offline'.

The first time a user accesses LS Offline from the browser the user may get a prompt to use persistent storage - user should agree to this.

Tip: If accessing LS Offline through the browser, It may be best practice to create a bookmark on your desktop to allow for easy access.

Tip: Don’t use offline in a private or incognito window.

Staying Logged In

If you don't clear your browser's data, you should stay logged into offline mode for up to year. If there is an impending disaster, such as an approaching hurricane, it would be prudent to switch to offline mode in the day or so before you anticipate losing internet access.

Out of Memory Situations

Offline LegalServer will warn the user when there is low memory, and also alert the user when memory is full. If memory becomes completely full, the application will not function properly.

Information Available Offline

Offline LegalServer is primarily designed to provide you with read-only information about cases, outreaches, and clinics you may need to service while the internet is out due to a disaster. The other primary feature is to support creating new intake records for people you screen during a disaster. Not all information or features can function offline, since without internet access, you are disconnected from the full LegalServer database.
