Offline fieldwork

What happens when the connection is not there.

Resumable uploads

A media upload interrupted by a dropped connection resumes rather than restarting. The server names the parts it is still missing, and a re-sent part is recorded as a retry, not as a second part.

On completion the assembled object is re-hashed and compared against the hash declared at the start. Integrity is verified, not asserted, and a mismatch fails the upload rather than storing a corrupt file.

Replayed operations

Every offline operation carries a client operation identifier that is unique within your organization. If a device sends the same operation twice — which is normal on a bad connection — the second attempt returns the original result instead of creating a duplicate.

Field data quality signals

The quality engine emits flags, risk signals and review requests. It reaches no verdict about a person and it does not describe anyone as fraudulent. A signal is a prompt for a human to look, and nothing more.

What is not claimed

Network resilience is described here only as far as it has been measured. Resumable upload, replay safety and hash verification are tested. Behaviour on any specific carrier or device fleet is not, and no offline durability figure is published.

Did this answer your question?

If something here is wrong or missing, tell us — documentation that misdescribes the platform is a defect.
