Bandwidth Requirements
CR LiftEd requires the Internet. Bandwidth will not likely be an issue; however, please contact your IT department to ensure your school, district, or organization can support the implementation. If classroom staff are using many devices in a single classroom simultaneously (e.g., 8+), a broadband WI-FI connection is required, as well as having additional hardware installed in the classroom(s) for support (e.g., WI-FI extender).
CR LiftEd also supports limited offline functions. Please contact your Implementation or Account Manager for more information.
Data / Connectivity Overview
Tracking Sessions
In tracking sessions, autosave occurs every 2 minutes in the background. If users want to manually save faster, there is a "Save Now" button.
In the event of WI-FI disconnection, data is protected during a tracking session. Data gets stored in cache until a connection is regained, and then it autosaves in the background to prevent a workflow interruption.
When users are in a tracking session for an extended period of time, data will save automatically. However, if the screen is idle, a message may display that you have been disconnected from the CR LiftEd server. The message is to notify users that CR LiftEd is reestablishing a database connection and will disappear as soon as a connection is made. Any unsaved data will automatically save prior to idling.
If WI-FI is disconnected for more than a few minutes, and the application cannot re-establish a connection, it will prevent users from using the application until a WI-FI connection is restored.
Behavior Tracking Observations
Unlike a Tracking Session, a internet connection is required to track Behaviors. A user must be connected to the internet when they click Save and End observation in order to save the data.
