The ServiceMax Go app synchronizes app data with the server using a bidirectional process through the Sync Gateway. When a mobile network is available, the app automatically syncs data on a schedule, uploading local changes—such as work order updates and service reports—and downloading new or updated records based on predefined download criteria. The downloaded data is stored in the app’s secure offline datastore, allowing field technicians to access critical information without an internet connection. When connectivity is restored, offline work is merged with the server to keep mobile and backend systems up to date.

The sync icon changes based on the Go app's sync status. The following table describes the possible sync states and the icons associated with them on different devices.
