Select Settings and select an existing offline profile or create a new profile.

Select a new table or an existing table for the profile, we can see the Manage Columns option for it.

We can see key columns already selected as part of Required Columns.

We can select columns from the other columns section for our offline profile. The fewer the columns the faster the app will download the data for offline usage.

One point to note is that we get this option only from the Maker Portal not from the Power Platform Admin Center.

Hope it helps..

Only notes are available in Offline mode. Please check your internet connection to view other timeline records – Dataverse / Dynamics 365

We were recently exploring the Dynamics 365 Field Service mobile app, we saw that for the users with a mobile offline profile configured – Add the user to an offline profile, when they go offline they will see the below message –

“Only Notes are available in offline mode. If you would like to view your other items, please reconnect to online mode when possible”.

What it means is that if users go offline, only the Notes records (along with the attachment) will be available on the timelines. The users can also add/remove attachment in the offline mode. This capability was added as part of the 2019 Release Wave 2
