How to use the captured or selected image in a template
Afterauserhassubmittedtheformandthedatahasbeenextracted,youmaywanttodisplaythecap-
turedorselectedimageinaDesignertemplate,forexampleinaletteroronawebpage.Todothis:

2. Insertadummyimageinthetemplate.
3. Right-clickthedummyimageandselectDynamic Image.TheTextScriptWizardappears.
4. UnderFieldselectthefieldthatcontainsthebase64-encodedstring.Thescriptputsthegiven
stringinthesource(src)attributeoftheimage(<img>).
InsteadofusingtheTextScriptWizard,youcouldalsowriteascriptyourself;see"Writingyourown

DateandFormattedDate
TheDateelementandtheFormattedDateelementdisplaythecurrentdateonthedevicewhenthe
formisfirstopened.Whentheelementistouched,adateselectorappearssotheusercanmodifythis
date.TheFormattedDateelementdisplaysdatesinaformatthatdependsonthelocaleofthedevice

dateintwoformats:intheformatthatdependsonthedevice'sregionalandlanguagesettingsandin
theISOformatmentionedabove(usingahiddenfield).ADateelementsendsthedateintheISO

bothtroubleshooting,iferrorsoccuronspecificdevicetypesforexample,aswellasforsecurityval-
idation:itispossibletomaintainalistofdeviceUUIDsthatareallowedaccess,topreventunauthorized
