Moving location of config file AND keeping report to cloud url?

Hey guys, Hope you're all having a Saturday. Mine is great, working on my app :) I have a question. It's more a tweak that I would like to do and I would love to get your feedback to know if it is feasible: Is it possible for me to host my config file on my own server WHILE Keeping the report to cloud URL feature? If Yes, I can easily change the URL of the Configuration Data File in the console. But Can I keep the Report To Cloud URL the same? Just want to make sure this will work before redesigning my app:) In case you are wondering why I want that, I need to avoid the config file to be refreshed from the console parameters. I have added quite a lot of lines in the config files that I cannot reproduce through the console. So I need to make sure if a user refreshes his app, it will be refreshed according to my custom config file hosted on my server and not the one simply from the console. Hope it makes sense. Happy week end (coding or not :))

Yep, you can do that with no problem at all! Lots of articles and documents have been written about that: https://www.buzztouch.com/files/howtos/Understanding_App_Refresh_and_Offline_Apps_v1.0.pdf Mark

Thanks Mark, now I remember this doc that I read right at the beginning when I started BT, but forgot too much of it (too much stuff to learn at the same time) It's all fresh now, and won't be forgotten again :) Have a good day
