    We use hot-spot to connect to the internet when doing our Jotforms.

    Sadly, the region we are in does not allow for seamless connection to the internet and we keep having 'dropouts' - Our clients are getting frustrated with the forms. (not your problem)

    Is there an OFFLINE version we can use, uploading the forms only once our clients have completed them, rather than being on line for the entire form? Thanks John

    What you could do regarding this issue is to enable Auto fill option https://www.jotform.com/help/227-How-to-Enable-Auto-Fill-on-Forms. That will make sure that if your client fills the form and internet connection drops when they come back to the form their filled data until that point will still be there.

    Meaning, whatever they input before the internet connection loss, will be there prefilled. And the data stays until the form is submitted.

    Only what is important is that the user continues the filling of the form from the same device (and same Browser) since the data is saved locally in the device.

    Another solution, which allows data to be accessed from anywhere is: https://www.jotform.com/help/97-How-to-Save-Forms-and-Continue-Later

    Where a session link is created and your users can use that link anytime from any device to continue filling the form. The data is saved on our servers.

    Hope it helps.

    Let us know if you have any further questions.

    Thank you!
