If a network connection does not exist, InfoPath uses the version of the form template that is stored on the user's computer. If an updated version exists, InfoPath updates the form template on the user's computer. If a network connection exists, InfoPath checks the location where the form template was downloaded from, to determine if there is an updated version of the form template. Whenever the user opens a form based on that form template, InfoPath first checks if there is a network connection to the computer.

When a user creates a form based on a form template, InfoPath downloads and stores a copy of that form template on the user’s computer. After returning to the office and reconnecting to the network, the adjuster can then submit the form.īy default, a form saved on a computer can work without a network connection. In the field, the adjuster can then open and fill out the form without being connected to a network. While still in the office and connected to the network, the insurance adjuster can create a form based on this form template, and then save the form on his or her computer. The adjuster needs this data in order to fill out the form. The form template contains secondary data connections that provide data to the form from an external database. For example, you can design a form template that an insurance adjuster can use in the field while investigating a claim. You might need to design a Microsoft Office InfoPath form template that users can fill out while their computers are disconnected from the network.
