Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I check for updates?
Most datasets update quarterly, but pay tables update annually or when Congress approves raises. Checking monthly is recommended.
What happens if an update fails?
Your existing data remains active. The system validates checksums before swapping, so you'll never have corrupted data. Try checking again later.
How much storage does this use?
Total dataset size is typically under 1 MB. IndexedDB storage is efficient and won't impact device performance.
Can I use MilFlex offline?
Yes! Once datasets are cached, all calculations work offline. You only need internet to check for and download updates.
