Understanding online and offline scanning in all VeriScan apps.
Our VeriScan apps maximize functionality with an active internet connection. While offline, devices temporarily store scan data and sync it with VeriScan Cloud upon reconnection, with admin-configurable restrictions. Some features require internet access, so we'll clarify their offline availability.
