In the fast-paced world of labs, we understand that uninterrupted workflow is essential. That’s why Scispot Labspace Pages now support offline functionality in addition to automatic saving, giving you more flexibility and reliability when managing your data.

Here’s a closer look at these powerful features and how they work together to keep your lab running smoothly.

Automatic Saving: Work with Confidence

With Scispot’s real-time sync feature, you never have to worry about losing your work. Every edit you make—whether it’s adding data, modifying Labsheets, or updating protocols—is instantly saved to the cloud as long as you have an internet connection.

  • No manual saving needed: Your changes are continuously captured in the background.

  • Cloud storage: Ensures your work is secure, up-to-date, and accessible from anywhere.

Let us eliminate interruptions and help you stay focused on your tasks.

Offline Functionality: Keep Working Anytime, Anywhere

While Scispot doesn’t have a fully dedicated offline mode, we’ve introduced offline capabilities to ensure your work isn’t disrupted during unexpected connectivity issues.

Here’s what you can expect:

How Offline Mode Works

  • Preloaded pages: You can view and edit any pages that were previously opened while online.

  • Local storage: Your offline changes are temporarily stored on your device.

  • Automatic syncing: Once your internet connection is restored, all changes are seamlessly synced to the cloud.

Offline Workflow in Action

  1. Editing capabilities: Continue editing text, modifying tables, and interacting with embedded Labsheets on preloaded pages.

  2. Offline indicator: An "Offline" tag will appear on the page, signaling that your device has lost internet connectivity.

  3. Limitations to note:

    • Features requiring active internet (e.g., embedding external links, creating new pages or Labsheets) will not be available offline.

    • New page creation is restricted until reconnection.

Guidelines for a Smooth Offline Experience

To make the most of Scispot’s offline functionality, here are some important tips:

Do:

  • Keep your pages open: Avoid closing or refreshing the browser tab while offline. Doing so may result in unsaved data being lost.

  • Plan your work: Be mindful of the limitations of offline functionality and adjust your workflow accordingly.

Don’t:

  • Avoid refreshing: Refreshing your browser while offline can lead to data loss for changes that haven’t synced yet.

  • Refrain from creating new content: Hold off on adding new pages, Labsheets, or plates until you're back online.

After Reconnection:

  • Keep your application or browser open to allow Scispot to automatically sync your offline changes to the cloud.

Why This Matters: Reliable, Flexible Lab Operations

Scispot’s offline functionality is designed with labs in mind—supporting productivity in situations where internet access is unreliable. This feature ensures you can continue working with minimal disruption, offering peace of mind that your changes are safe and will sync automatically.

With automatic saving and offline capabilities combined, Scispot empowers labs to stay efficient and resilient, no matter the circumstances.
