Introduction:

With Zoho Calendar's Offline Support, you can now access your events sans the net! So for anyone struggling with connectivity issues, simply choose the offline mode to check events.

Setting Up Offline:

1. Install Gears
Offline mode requires the Gears browser extension. Given below are a few steps to activate your gears if you don't have it installed on your browser already.

Click on the Setup Offline link on the top bar,and you will see a small dialog box displayed. Click on "Download and Install Google Gears" and you will be redirected to a page to install gears.

After you have installed gears in your system, restart the browser

2. Gears Security Warning
Gears throws up a warning pop up every time any application needs to use the gears functionality. In the first instance of going offline with calendar this warning will be displayed. Click on 'Allow' to store information on your hard drive or 'Deny' to cancel the storage

Please note that clicking on 'Deny' will not allow any events to be downloaded locally.

Offline Settings:

Click on the Setup Offline option to see a small dialog box displayed. The offline settings options are provided

  • You have the option to create a Desktop icon of Zoho Calendar offline for easy access.
  • Click on Setup Offline to complete the process. The set up might take a few minutes.

    Disabling offline mode is as simple as it gets. Simply click on OfflineOptions->Offline Settings and click on the Remove Offline Setup from this Computer option. This action is recommended if you dont intend on using the particular computer for future use. 

    Synchronization:

    Zoho Calendar downloads 6 months event s locally. Downloads are made from previous month, current month and next 4 months.
    When you are connected to the network, your Online changes are synchronized locally and new events are downloaded.
    There are certain operations that are not as yet possible when you are working offline. Some of them include changing your settings, creating events, calendar, etc. These options are disabled when working offline.

    Note:Enabling offline from a publicly accessed computer can result in others accessing your events. Enabling Offline is recommended on a private computer to avoid security issues.
