Prepare To Work Offline

Before you can safely work on documents in Offline mode, you must first download them to your local workspace. The documents also need to be locked to prevent editing by others.

Application Integration must be in Online mode to prepare documents for working in Offline mode. You must have an active connection to the Meridian web server to use PowerWeb. You must restart any authoring applications that use Meridian application links for the links to detect the correct mode.

1. In PowerWeb, select the documents you want to work with in Offline mode.

2. Choose between two options:

   • If you selected one document, on the Document menu, select Download Document.

   • If you selected multiple documents, on the Selection shortcut menu, select Download Documents.

     The documents are downloaded to your local workspace.

3. Log off.

4. Right-click the Accruent Application Integration icon in the system tray.

   A shortcut menu appears.

5. Point to Mode (Online) and select Offline.
