Terminology for 'live' / stored files?

Featured Replies

This is just a matter of parlance/ terminology, but I'm wondering what the common terms are for referring to

 

A] a Filemaker Go interface that I would describe as displaying "live" data -- that is, the iPad is directly connected via wifi or telecom signal to a database file hosted on a local network or remote site

 

vs.

 

B] a Filemaker database that is copied wholly onto an iPad (via email or iTunes) and requiring no wireless signal to function.  

 

You might say, maybe, that [A] is a 'hosted solution'?  What would you say of  in contrast?

 

Just wanting to 'speak the language' with my client accurately and efficiently.

A is a hosted file

 

B is a local file
