I fully agree with the other comments.
Cut the network and we cannot access and work with contacts anymore.
Like the phone book on your mobile phone, you can add and update contacts even when offline and the results are synced when back online.

Really, really need offline ability to manage deals.....

Hi Joseph,

Was wondering if your plans reg this feature have changed.

For us, offline use is paramount for using a CRM as our team is constantly on the road.

As with other cloud apps, like google docs, there should be a way to access your schedule offline, write comments and updates after a meeting during a flight, set tasks etc. while knowing all is being synched automatically to the cloud once you're back online.

Again, seems kind of required of a CRM..

I agree with Dave. I actually won't use nimble simply because I can't use it offline. I work all over the world and can never count on having online use. Yet when on a plane for 12 hours, or in China, etc. I still need to work.

RE: Use case for Interacting with Nimble Offline.

The most practical application would be making use of time offline while
flying. The essence of Nimble is making communication more effective. When
flying, I have time to work on all of the following activities offline
without distraction:

1. Make notes for previous meetings or upcoming meetings.
2. Schedule activities for individual clients and prospects.
3. Update my pipeline.
4. Write email.

Ideally, any software that I use should allow me to work offline to
accomplish any of the tasks listed above with the expectation that when I
get back online everything that I created/modified/scheduled while offline
would then update/execute.

Of course, Nimble stores my data in the cloud. But, couldn't Nimble also
have a "skeletal client" resident on my notebook that I can only start when
I'm offline, allows me to work offline, only stores data when I'm offline,
automatically updates the cloud in the background as soon as I'm back
online and then wipes the data from the resident client.

Otherwise, I am reduced to "paper and pen" offline or working in another
program with, at best, "cut and paste" options to move date into Nimble.
Either of these is the exact opposite of what you want your users doing.
You want to keep us engaged inside Nimble...even if that means a "skeletal"
offline client of some kind.
