• How to Collect and Synchronise an offline file

• If working with an offline file you need only collect it from the Accelerus database once. From then on, each time you make changes to your offline file, or at the beginning of a new reporting cycle, such as a new year, just synchronise your existing offline file with the database.
• Once you have collected and logged in to your offline file, each time you open Accelerus to the Accelerus Login screen, the offline file will be listed as the most recently used file and you can then login to it.

Reordering your assessment item columns
