•
To fully cache an application (needed for laptop customers who will be using an application off the network), right click on an application and select Load as shown below.
NOTE: Laptop users will also need to launch any application they want to use offline once while on the network before disconnecting. This sets needed permissions for offline use of any application.
•
An application can be unloaded performing the same steps by selecting Unload for an application that is cached. This function is mainly used as a troubleshooting technique. Unloading does not reduce the size of the file cache.

The client can be put in Offline Mode by right clicking on the SoftGrid on Localhost item in the left pane and selecting Properties. Go the Connectivity tab.
