A _briefcase_ is a set of rules and filters that select records to prime for offline use. Using Briefcase Builder, you can create and manage your organization’s briefcases. By connecting a briefcase with a [compatible mobile app](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.briefcase_builder_compatible_apps.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Learn the prerequisites for mobile apps that you can connect with a briefcase."), you can enable your mobile workforce to access the most relevant records, even while offline.

You can use a briefcase with your mobile app when:

- Your mobile workforce requires a large volume of records to be viewable offline. Briefcase Builder supports up to 50,000 records that can be retrieved offline.
- Your mobile workforce requires information stored in both standard and custom Salesforce objects.
- Your mobile workforce requires information stored across different but related objects. When you create a briefcase, you can create related rules that select records to prime across objects so that your end users can seamlessly access information across objects while offline.
