In this article, you will learn how to use the mobile app to create draft estimates while you’re offline.

The Workiz mobile app is a web-connected solution that requires an active network connection for most of its capabilities. When offline, access to features like creating or accessing jobs, leads, invoices, client details, calls, and messages will be restricted.

However, our mobile app ensures that you can still maximize your productivity even without an internet connection. Offline capabilities allow you to create draft estimates, storing them directly on the mobile app. These drafts can then be seamlessly synced with your web-connected account by assigning them to specific jobs, ensuring your workflow remains uninterrupted.

Creating draft estimates

1. From your homepage, select > Draft estimate
   
2. Create your draft estimate
3. Select the back arrow
   

Your draft estimate will now be saved as an offline draft that you can assign to a job once you have an internet connection.

Assigning draft estimates to jobs

Once reconnected to the internet, you will be prompted to sync your draft estimates on the mobile app. The message will appear any time you open the app from a closed state, and will disappear after just a few seconds. You can select the link from the message to assign your draft estimate to a job.

You can also access your list of draft estimates at any time.

1. From your homepage, select > Estimates
2. Filter your estimates by Draft 
   
3. Open the estimate you want to assign and select Assign to job
4. Select the job that you want to assign this estimate to
5. Select Yes, assign
