Configure Offline Access to Salesforce1

The Salesforce1 downloadable apps cache users' most recently used records for access offline. Offline access is currently read-only, and is available in the Salesforce1 downloadable apps, versions 6.0 and later.
Available in: All editions except Database.com

Offline access is enabled by default when you install one of the Salesforce1 downloadable apps. You can manage this setting in Setup from Salesforce1 Setup | Offline Sync.

When offline access is enabled, data is downloaded to each user’s mobile device based on the objects in the Recent section of the Salesforce1 navigation menu, and on the user’s most recently viewed records. Data is encrypted and stored in a secure, persistent cache. This table lists the elements that are available offline.

When users switch to Salesforce1, their data is cached, which refreshes the local data store. When a user switches to another app, the user’s data is cached automatically if the existing cache is over one hour old.

Users can manually cache their data and refresh that cache at any time (for example, before switching into airplane mode or entering an area with no service), from Settings | Offline Cache in the Salesforce1 navigation menu.

The cache is saved for two weeks. Users can clear the cache by logging out of the Salesforce1 app.
