Background Uploads for Photos & Documents on Purchase Orders!

Available in Mobile versions 6.13.0, we’ve enhanced the Photos and Documents on Purchase Orders feature to handle uploads in the background. This saves time as you no longer need to wait for uploads to complete before moving onto other tasks.

To provide visibility over background uploads, we’ve added an outbox (this works the same way as our Proof Of Delivery Outbox) which provides the following:

• Visibility of Incomplete Uploads: Documents pending, in-progress or those that failed to upload will appear in the Outbox. Successfully submitted documents are automatically removed.

• Retry & Delete Actions:

  • Retry Button: Allows users to reattempt failed uploads (uploads may fail due to network connectivity, eg: poor cell signal or wifi)

  • Delete Button: Removes failed uploads and requires gallery access permissions on iOS to delete saved photos.

• Never lose data:

  • Uploads will persist if the app is closed and reopened, or even if users log out and a new user logs in!

  • If an upload fails and is deleted from the outbox, any photos/videos will be saved into the devices gallery so they can be reattempted later.

Stay tuned, this quarter we’re adding Photos and Documents to Sale Orders!
