Offline Devices
When a device is unable to connect to the network, it automatically enters offline mode. When a device is in offline mode, a banner is shown on the screen indicating that it is offline.
Offline devices are still usable. While in offline mode, the device will continue collecting worker and device data, which it will send to the Liminal EMM server the next time it is able to connect.
Offline devices attempt to reconnect to the Liminal EMM server every 60 seconds.
Devices must be connected to the network for provisioning.
