Forms for offline use
Capture OnTheGo forms can be used offline. This is the case even when the form relies on
remotely stored source files like JavaScript files and style sheets, provided that the option Use
cached Capture OnTheGo resource is checked when adding them to the form.
Specifying an action
The action of the Capture OnTheGo Form element should specify a Workflow HTTP Server
Input task (see Workflow Help: HTTP Server Input) that receives and handles the submitted
data. The action will look similiar to this: http://192.168.175.1:8080/actionname (where
actionname is the HTTP action of the HTTP Server Input task).
For information about specifying an action for a Form, see "Adding a Form" on page444 or
"Changing a Form's properties" on page446.
Note
For testing purposes, it is possible to use another URL for the Form's action or not to specify an
action at all; see "Testing a Capture OnTheGo Template" on page379.
Filling a COTG template
Before inserting elements in a COTG Form, have the design ready; see "Designing a COTG
Template" on page364.
In a Capture OnTheGo form, you can use special Capture OnTheGo Form elements, such as a
Signature and a Barcode Scanner element; see "COTG Elements" on page438 and "Using
COTG Elements" on page375.
Foundation, the framework added by the COTG template wizards, comes with a series of
features that can be very useful in COTG forms; see "Using Foundation" on page372.
Naturally, Web Form elements can also be used on COTG Forms (see "Forms" on page444
and "Form Elements" on page449) as well as text, images and other elements (see "Content
elements" on page385).
Capture OnTheGo templates can be personalized just like any other type of template; see
"Variable Data" on page510 and "Personalizing Content" on page499.
