And as a heads up, this bug should help with the block list issues (among
other things):

We're using it with PINES. Our local instructions are here:
https://pines.georgialibraries.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=circ:circulation:offline

We disabled the button to download the offline patron list because it would
not work, so we're missing the old functionality of being able to check for
accounts with bad statuses, but the rest of it actually works a bit better
than the old system. (For instance, you can see a preview of the offline
transactions before you upload them now.)

Hi Diane,

Offline circ is available, and it looks like the documentation for using it
in the web client has been created - http://docs.evergreen-ils.
org/reorg/3.1/circulation/_introduction_2.html.

Evergreen uses something called web service workers to store information
for offline use. This is the same technology that allows people to use
Google docs and other web applications offline. All of the transactions you
perform while offline are stored in a database in your browser.

I hope this helps!
Kathy
