# Create an offline resource

Use an *Offline resource* to make data available in an offline workflow. When an offline resource is used, the button *Offline data* will be available in the clients. Under *Offline data* can the end user download data to the local device that will be used when executing offline workflows. For every *Offline resource* used in workflows available for the end user will one row show up under *My offline data*.

 Create a machine workflow that fetches the data needed and connect the *Machine workflow* to the *Offline resource*. The *Machine workflow* must be created as an *Offline resource*.
