We wish to mobile-enable an aspect of a Rollbase application we are developing. However we know that 50% of the time the client will not have an internet connection. What do people generally do in this situation. Use Adobe Forms?, and excel spreadsheet, or other ?Thanks for any pointers
Mr. Walsh,
I will refer to our development and product management teams for the best recommendation, and will reply with any updates as soon as possible.

Thanks again.
