submitted data. The action will look like this: http://127.0.0.1:8080/action (8080 is
Workflow's default port number; 'action' should be replaced by the HTTP action of that
particular HTTP Server Input task).
The method of a Capture OnTheGo form should be POST to ensure that it doesn't hit a
data limit when submitting the form. The GET method adds the data to the URL, and the
length of a URL is limited to 2048 characters.
Adding elements to a COTG template
To fill a Capture OnTheGo form, you can use special Capture OnTheGo Form elements, such
as a Signature and a Barcode Scanner element. To insert an element, select Insert > Capture
OnTheGo Form elementsand click the respective element; see "COTG Elements" on the next
page. Web Form elements can also be used on COTG Forms (see "Forms" on page 269 and
"Form Elements" on page 272) as well as text, images and other elements (see "Content
elements" on page 223).
Tip
If the COTG Form replaces a paper form, it can be tempting to stick to the original layout. Although
that may increase the recognizability, it is better to give priority to the user-friendliness of the form.
Keep in mind that the COTG form will be used on a device and don't miss the chance to make it as
user-friendly as possible.
Capture OnTheGo templates can be personalized just like any other type of template; see
"Variable Data" on page 336 and "Personalizing Content" on page 325.
Tip
Use the Outline pane at the left to see which elements are present in the template and to
select an element.
Use the Attributes pane at the right to see the current element's ID, class and some other
properties.
Use the Styles pane next to the Attributes pane to see which styles are applied to the
currently selected element.
