IMS4Field
Keeping the tablet/phone screen awake
IMS4Field on a tablet or phone device keeps the screen awake during the upload process to ensure sync continues uninterrupted. This is supported across most major browsers on phones and tablets (Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox, Safari on iOS).
Note: This option may not be technically supported on iPadOS when the app is installed as a PWA, but supported only within a browser (Safari for iOS).
In addition, a new setting "Keep screen ON during application use" has been introduced to prevent the device's screen from locking while using IMS4Field in general, not just during the upload/sync process.
New IMS4Field Application Mode Settings.
Download and upload speed improvements and transparency
Backend enhancements have been implemented that improve IMS4Field's responsiveness during data synchronization with IMS. The logging capabilities have been enhanced to facilitate more effective troubleshooting of network and performance issues.
Performance tests have demonstrated up to 70% reduction in synchronization completion time. Note: results in different cases may be different.
In the settings interface, detailed metrics for each synchronization step are now accessible, providing visibility into the time required for individual processes within the synchronization workflow.
