Abstract: Techniques to facilitate offline investigation for an application associated with an industrial automation environment are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, application data is received for the application associated with the industrial automation environment transmitted from an application server over a communication network. A graphical user interface (GUI) is displayed on a display system of the computing system, wherein the GUI includes an offline pin option for a user to request offline storage of data. A selection of the offline pin option is received along with an identification of pinned data comprising at least a portion of the application data. The pinned data is stored in a local storage system of the computing system.
