Note that by "offline" we mean "not connected to the internet" and by "online" we mean "connected to the internet".
The short answer is exactly the same as you would use it in online mode. The only difference is that data is uploaded at a later date if/when the gateway has a working internet connection, for example when you bring it back to the office and plug it in to your office LAN.
Note that if your gateway has been offline it will upload data from oldest to newest so if you are watching the reading dates for your sensor data you will see it creep forward in time as the data is uploaded. Note that our pages do not dynamically update so to see this you have to refresh the page. The best way to monitor the progress when a gateway is uploading data is to click on the gateway ID then click on the summary tab. If its uploading data the "create date" column should be the current time and the "read date" will correspond to the date of the reading it is currently uploading.
As always the data, when uploaded, will go to the job site the gateway is currently assigned to. If the gateway is unassigned then your data will be lost forever. Note also that if the gateway is at a job site with marginal cell service it may go online after you have left the job site which means that no matter how you think you are using the gateway it MUST BE ASSIGNED TO A JOB SITE BEFORE YOU USE IT AT THE JOB SITE OR YOUR DATA CAN AND WILL BE LOST FOREVER.
