I could also very much have use for this functionality for the app property.

The way it is operated today – is that localized orders and reports  are
drafted on site – and then typed into the system when the user comes back to
the office. It would clearly make an improvement if the orders and reports
could be registered on site – and then automatically transfered to the master
database later on.

Is this  functionality moving into HEAD?
