Forms
Web templates can contain Form elements. Capture OnTheGo templates always contain a
Form element.
Tip
To create a Capture OnTheGo template, preferably use a Template Wizard (see "Capture OnTheGo
template wizards" on page368). The Wizard doesn't just add the form, it also adds the necessary
Capture OnTheGo form elements (see ), style sheets and JavaScript files, and extra pre-made
elements.
Adding a Form
This procedure describes how to add a Form element to an existing Web context.
1.
On the Resources pane, expand the Web context and double-click a Web page to open
it.
2.
To use the Form Wizard, select the Insert > Form Wizard menu option. The Form Wizard
adds a Form to the Web page including the specified fields.
Alternatively, you can select Insert > Form on the menu to open a dialog that lets you set
the Form's properties, validation method and location, but doesn't allow you to specify
fields. If you choose this method, skip step 8 and 9 of this procedure and add fields after
inserting the Form (see "Forms" above).
3.
Add an ID and/or a class. ID's and classes are particularly useful with regard to variable
data (see "Personalizing Content" on page499) and styling (see "Styling templates with
CSS files" on page467).
4.
In the Action field, enter the URL where the form data should be sent. The URL should
be a server-side script that can accept form data. The action of a Capture OnTheGo form
should specify the Workflow HTTP Server Input task that receives and handles the
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.
Especially forms containing one or more Camera inputs may produce a voluminous data
