Time and Formatted Time
The Time element and the Formatted Time element display the current time on the device
when the form is first opened. When the element is touched, a time selector appears so the user
can modify this time. The Formatted Time element displays times in a format that depends on
the locale of the device on which the user is viewing the form. A Time Element displays dates
in the ISO 8601 format: HH:MM.
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.

Capture OnTheGo (COTG) elements are Web Form elements that are specially designed to be
used in a Capture OnTheGo Form (see "Capture OnTheGo" on page602). This topic explains
