Learn About Briefcase Types
The Salesforce Field Service mobile app uses different types of Briefcases to support offline work. This table can help you decide which type of Briefcase is best suited for your business needs.

Standard Briefcase is the default Briefcase type. | Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions | None | 5 active Briefcases and up to 50,000 records primed per user. | Currently available in the Field Service mobile app, Salesforce Mobile App Plus, and custom-built apps with the Briefcase Sync down target. |

*How Record Limits Are Counted for Different Briefcase Types
- Standard and High Volume Briefcase (HVB): Duplicate records are not removed. If the same record meets the criteria for multiple briefcase rules, it counts as a separate record for each rule. For example, if Rule A includes account "Apple" and Rule B also includes account "Apple," this single account record counts as two records toward the 50K/400K limits.
- Profile Briefcases: Duplicate records are removed. A unique record only counts once, regardless of how many rules it satisfies. For example, account "Apple" counts as one record toward the 100K limit, even if returned by multiple rules.
