right-click HTTP/Soap Server and start it.
l In the Designer menu Window > Preferences > Web, the Workflow URL has been set to
the correct host. The default is http://127.0.0.1:8080/_getSampleFormData_. This points
to an internal process of the Workflow component running at that host.
If these conditions are met, you can get the XML file as follows:
1. Open the Form in the Designer, toggle to Live mode and fill out the form. Click the Add
Dummy Data button (found on the toolbar and only available in the Live view) to populate
empty form fields with dummy data. This adds dummy data to standard HTML form inputs
as well as COTG inputs like the camera and signature widgets. Inputs that already
contain data are left untouched. For a list of dummy data values, see the table below.
2. Click the Get Job Data File on submit toolbar button. This replaces the default form
submit action and will send the form data to the Workflow's HTTP Service (which needs
to be running in the background).
Note
Workflow's HTTP Service must be running, but not necessarily the Workflow
Service itself.
3. Hit the Submit button. Now the data file will be sent directly to the Designer. Once the Job
Data File is received by the Connect server, a dialog appears asking where to store it.
4. Save the XML file to disk. You can view it, create or update a data mapping configuration
for it (see "Data mapping configurations" on page222), and insert the data in a template,
using the data mapping configuration (see "Personalizing content" on page830).
Note
Checkboxes and Radio buttons that are unchecked will not be submitted to the job data.
This is standard behavior in HTML. One can work around that by adding a hidden field
before the respective checkbox with the same name and for example value 0 (see "Using
COTG Elements" on page626).
