When you are working on a web application and you experience problems with your internet connection, there are several things you can do to diagnose the problem as well as things you can do to work around it.
Workarounds if Your Internet Connection is Unavailable
- Excel import templates: You can use the Excel template to prepare data for new records or to update existing records. Once your internet connection is available again, you can then import the Excel files through the Import data wizard.
- Email software: You can use your email software to prepare communications to be sent to Borealis and send them once your internet connection is available again.
- Mobile phone data plan: You can use your mobile phone data plan to use either the Borealis mobile application or the Borealis web application to perform your everyday tasks.
Borealis, as a web application, generally only uses small amounts of data.
