The Design
More often than not, the process of using Capture OnTheGo begins with the creation of a
template containing various Capture OnTheGo and form widgets. The template can also
contain data from external sources through the use of the DataMapper module.
Template Creation
The basics of creating a Capture OnTheGo template in the PlanetPress® or PReS® Connect
Designer module goes as such:
1. Create a new Web Context, or a Web Template.
2. Add a new Form element.
3. Add a new COTG Form Element.
4. Add Form and COTG Form elements.
There are many different Capture OnTheGo elements. Click on one to see its properties in the
PlanetPress® Connect User Guide:
l Camera
l Date
l Time
l Signature
l GPS Coordinates
l Barcode Scanner
l User Account
l Device Info
Adding a new form
The Form Element is essentially the box in which you place all of the other pieces that make
the form. The form has a specific action, which is the URL where the form data is sent. This
URL corresponds to a process in PlanetPress® or PReS® Workflow as seen in the next
section.
