Using Quria offline

You can still check out items in Quria even if the internet connection fails for some reason.

The transactions are saved in the web browser’s storage, under the signed-in user’s application data folder on the local computer (using a standard Windows configuration). This means that if user A performs offline transactions, and then user B signs into the same Windows workstation, no offline transactions will be available for synchronization for user B. To synchronize, sign in as user A again in Windows and in Quria, and the synchronization will start once an online connection is detected.

Notes:
Quria must have been started at least once on the current computer for the offline functionality to work. Internet browser add-ons that block tracking or restrict cookies will prevent using the offline functionality.

The offline interface is displayed automatically if Quria loses contact with the internet. As soon as the connection is re-established, a message in the top of the screen will inform you that an online connection to Quria is available and you can click on a link in the message to return to normal mode.

The default loan period in Quria is 28 days. You can set up rule on consortia level if you want a different loan period. In offline mode, you enter or scan the patron card number and the barcode similarly to normal mode, and can edit the proposed loan period if you want to.

A receipt can be printed once the checkout is completed.

If you have permisson to Configurationyou can monitor the transactions made during offline mode in the Configuration section, under Admin/Executed jobs. All users can view offline logs based on the transcations handeled by the user during the last 30 days under the Log out menu.

Tips when handling Quria offline on shared computers

Since the offline transactions are stored per logged-in Windows user, the synchronization of the offline files needs to be done with the user who worked in offline mode. The storage takes place in the user's application data and for security reasons this cannot be shared with other users.

Create a bookmark in the browser to the Quria offline interface: https://*customer*.quria.axiell.com/frontend/*tenantid*/content/offline.html

When offline mode occurs, open the web browser and go to the bookmark for Quria offline and perform any loans here.

If the internet connection is re-established, the loans will be synchronized automatically.

If Quria still is offline when the library closes for the day, you can turn off the computer. The next day, you sign in again with the Windows/domain user that was used yesterday, and the synchronizing will start automatically. If there is still no connection to internet, continue working in offline mode.

The offline bookmark in the browser can also be useful for example when you start up your computer in the morning and there is no internet connection, or if you for some reason need to re-start during an offline session.
