After users log in to the app, the packaging process determines the scope of the data that the app downloads during data synchronization. When you configure your offline-enabled app to cache common data, such as rules and static data, the package already contains the cached content and can immediately download the necessary data. Further, you can include the cached data in the app executable file. This approach ensures that the initial data synchronization is faster because the app synchronizes only the data that differs between the package and the current server state.

1. Open your mobile channel:
   1. In the navigation pane of App Studio, click Channels.
   2. In the Current channel interfaces section, click the tile that represents a mobile channel for your app.
2. On the mobile channel page, on the Configuration tab, click the Offline category.
3. Expand the Advanced section, and then, in the Caching section, select the Cache common rules check box.
4. Optional: To control the caching of node-scope data pages, perform one of the following sets of actions:
   • To cache specific node-scope data pages in addition to common rules, select Additionally cache node scope data pages listed below, and then enter the names of the node-scope data pages.
   • To cache all node-scope data pages, select Additionally cache all node scope data pages except for those listed below.
   • To cache all node-scope data pages in addition to common rules, but also exclude specific node-scope data pages from caching, select Additionally cache all node scope data pages except for those listed below, and then enter the names of the node-scope data pages that you want to exclude.
5. Optional: To include the cached data in the app executable file for even faster startup, select the Include cache contents in the installation package check box.
6. Click Save.
