How to send the template and the corresponding Data Mapping Configuration to the Workflow
tool is explained in another topic: "Sending files to Workflow" on page268.
Next, you can start building a Workflow configuration that receives and handles the submitted
data. The configuration should start with a HTTP Server Input task (see Workflow Help: HTTP
Server Input) of which the HTTP action is the one specified in the COTG Form's action.
Using COTG data in a template
When a user submits a COTG Form, a Workflow configuration may store the information in a
database and/or push it into other Workflows, for example to send a letter or an email receipt.
To be able to use the submitted data in a template for that letter or email receipt, follow these
steps:
1.
Get the data
First create a Data Mapping Configuration for the data that is submitted from a certain
COTG Form. This means you have to get access to a sample of that data. There are two
ways to do this:
l
Using the option Get Job Data File on Submit in Connect Designer; see "Testing a
Capture OnTheGo Template" on page379. This way you don't have to create a
Workflow configuration first. Once the Job Data File is received by the Connect
server, a dialog appears asking where to store it.
l Using a Workflow configuration. When a user submits a Capture OnTheGo Form,
the data are received by a Workflow HTTP Server Input task (see Workflow Help:
HTTP Server Input) that receives and handles the submitted data. Even when no
other tasks are present in that Workflow configuration, Workflow can output an XML
file that contains the submitted data, in a location specified for the Send To Folder
plugin in Workflow.
Note
When a COTG Form is submitted, by clicking or touching the Submit button, the
name and value of form elements are submitted. If a Checkbox or Radio Button is
not checked, its name and value are not sent when the form is submitted.
