Multiple caching operations to support offline execution

A method, comprising:

• performing a set of caching operations for a particular version of an application executable on a mobile device, the particular version having a user interface that includes a native portion and a supplemental portion, the supplemental portion including a set of templates that is customized for a particular one of a plurality of organizations, the set of templates specifying data fields, the application being executable when the mobile device is online to communicate with an application server to access sufficient record data to fully render templates for those portions of the user interface selected by a user, the set of caching operations including:
• a record caching operation that causes a baseline of record data having a set of records to be cached at the mobile device according to a default set of rules that apply to all versions of the application, wherein the record caching operation also caches records according to a custom set of rules that override any conflicting rules in the default set;
• a template caching operation that causes at least a subset of the set of templates to be cached at the mobile device;
• and
• a template-record caching operation that causes additional record data for the particular version to be cached at the mobile device such that the subset of templates will fully render for when the mobile device is offline.

A method comprising:

• operating, by a computer system, an application server configured to handle calls made from a particular version of a remotely executing application, the particular version having a user interface with a native portion and a customized supplemental portion that is customized for a particular one of a plurality of organizations;
• storing, by the computer system:
• record data in a database;
• and
• template data for a set of templates corresponding to the customized supplemental portion of the user interface, a given template of the set of templates specifying data fields for that template and being fully renderable by the particular version, while executing on a mobile device that has a network connection to the application server, by populating the specified data fields with record data from the database;
• receiving, by the computer system, a request to cache data to the mobile device;
• in response to the request, performing, by the computer system, a set of caching operations that includes:
• a record caching operation that causes a baseline of record data to be cached at the mobile device according to a default set of rules, wherein the record caching operation causes record data to also be cached according to a custom set of rules that override any conflicting rules in the default set;
• and
• a template caching operation that causes at least a subset of the set of templates to be cached at the mobile device;
• and
• a template-record caching operation that causes additional record data for the particular version to be cached at the mobile device such that the subset of templates will fully render when the mobile device does not have a network connection to the application server.
