Using this feature, you are able to enter skills and patient care information, add attachments to your shift, and let your instructor complete the Preceptor Signoff on your shift or patient while offline.
Note: Your instructor is only able to use the Signature function when doing the Preceptor Signoff while Offline.
When you are offline, you will see one of two notes:
- No Internet Connection. No new items to sync.
This note indicates that you do not have any information to sync and you can start documenting a shift. - No Internet Connection. New items to sync.
This note indicates that you have started to document the shift and clicked save, but need to sync once you have Internet connection.

- Unlocked

Depending on your school's Program Setting, the preceptor can signoff on your shift or patient using a unique Fisdap username and password or an electronic signature. The Preceptor Signoff page includes a Shift Summary, an evaluation for the preceptor and/or student to complete, a Plan of Action, and the Evaluator Signoff box.
In the Evaluator Signoff box, preceptors also have the option to lock the shift or specific patient, which will prevent the student from making any changes to the shift data that the preceptor has already reviewed.
