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 page528 or
"Changing a Form's properties" on page530.
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436.
Filling a COTG template
Before inserting elements in a COTG Form, have the design ready; see "Designing a COTG
Template" on page413.
In a Capture OnTheGo form, you can use special Capture OnTheGo Form elements, such as a
Signature and a Barcode Scanner element. For a description of all COTG elements, see:
"COTG Elements" on page519. To learn how to use them, see "Using COTG Elements" on
page431.
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420.
Naturally, Web Form elements can also be used on COTG Forms (see "Forms" on page527
and "Form Elements" on page532) as well as text, images and other elements (see "Content
elements" on page465).
Capture OnTheGo templates can be personalized just like any other type of template; see
"Variable Data" on page604 and "Personalizing Content" on page592.
