Testing
This section provides details on how your app has been configured by your organization’s admin user, and allows you to download any updates to your settings that may have been made while you have been logged in.
| Note: Admin users are responsible for using the SHOEBOX Data Management Portal to configure device settings, along with providing access to projects/making them available offline. |
|
Important: When downloading device settings or offline testing features ensure that:
Doing this will prevent your download from failing. Note that you can idle on the app long enough for the PureTest screen saver to come up and the download will continue, it's just the act of leaving the app in any way that causes downloads to fail. You will know your download is complete when you see the last downloaded date update to your present day & present time, and there is a green checkmark indicating that there were no errors. |

To update them immediately, tap Download.

However, if you know that the admin user has made recent changes to your device settings, it is recommended that you download the new settings immediately to stay up-to-date before you test your next subject. |
Testing offline
This screen shows you which projects have been marked for offline testing.
When your iPad is online, tapping Download will sync the latest data from your web portal. This will enable you to perform offline testing on any subjects in the downloaded project(s).
