Do you need an internet connection to use Jobel?
You need an internet connection to sign up for Jobel since the software is web-based. However, once you’ve signed up and have opened a module on the web via your electronic device (smartphone, tablet or computer), you can access it from that same device in offline mode without an internet connection.
But you will need a wireless (Wi-Fi) or cell phone internet connection to transmit your data to Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
