Table Of Contents
When the form is submitted, the time data is sent as plain text. A Formatted Time element
submits the time in both the ISO format mentioned above and in the format that depends on the
device's regional and language settings. A Time element sends the time in the ISO format only.
User Account
The User Account Element adds a read only field that contains the Capture OnTheGo user
account (an email address) that was used to submit the form to the server. This is useful if a
form is available to many different users, to detect who submitted it.
If desired the field can be hidden; it will still be submitted.
Date
The Date element inserts the current system date, optionally making it dynamic so that it
updates whenever the template is viewed or produces output.
Adding a date
To add a Date element, use the Insert > Date option in the menus. A dialog appears with the
following controls:
l Language: Use the drop-down to select which language the date should be displayed in.
l Update Automatically: Check to update the date automatically when the template is
viewed or produces output. When this option is checked, a placeholder is inserted in the
template and a script is created to update it automatically, otherwise a static text with the
date is inserted.
l Available Formats: Select the date/time format in which to display the date.
Click OK to insert the date or Cancel to close the dialog.
Tip
If you are looking to add a date that originates from a record set, to a template, see:
"Variable Data" on page805. To insert a date you could use either the drag and drop
method or the Text Script Wizard; the latter lets you set the date/time format.
