AnySecura Request Temporary Offline interface


For short business trips that can be completed within a few days, it is recommended to use the temporary offline request feature:

  • In the client system tray, right-click and select Temporary Offline -> Request.
  • In the pop-up Temporary Offline Policy Time Settings dialog, enter the start time, offline expiration time, and reason, then click OK.
  • Once the administrator receives and approves the request, the client goes offline and enters Backup Mode, performing encryption and decryption according to the online policies.

If the client leaves the company network before submitting a temporary offline request, notify the administrator via email or phone. The administrator will generate a temporary authorization code for the client to import.

Import Method: In the client system tray, right-click Temporary Offline -> Import, enter the temporary offline authorization code, and click OK.

Note:

  • If Start Time is not selected during the request, the client enters temporary offline mode immediately after approval once it goes offline. If Start Time is selected and a specific time is set, the client will enter temporary offline mode only at the designated time, even after going offline.
