The Capture OnTheGo Architecture
The Capture OnTheGo solution is composed of four separate parts:
l PlanetPress® or PReS® Connect in which you create the forms that will be sent to your
mobile device. The DataMapper module lets you add data to your forms, and the
Designer module uses a simple interface using wizards and drag and drop to create the
forms themselves.
l Either PlanetPress® or PReS® Workflow and the Output to Capture OnTheGo Plugin that
make it possible for the forms to be downloaded to the mobile devices running the
Capture OnTheGo app.
l The Capture OnTheGo Server where you manage users and groups, documents and
categories. It establishes the link between PlanetPress® or PReS® Connect and the
devices.
l The Capture OnTheGo app that lets device users download forms and templates, fill them
out, and send the collected information back. A form can be used once; templates can be
used over and over again.
Documents that have been prepared for download are typically sent to the Capture OnTheGo
Server repository. It is possible to specify how long you want the documents to remain in the
repository. Capture OnTheGo App users typically download their files from this location. You
can also specify how long you want the documents to remain on the mobile device.
Managing a Capture OnTheGo Solution
The following people are involved in the management and use of a Capture OnTheGo solution:
l
Host system specialists: Typically, the forms your Capture OnTheGo users receive
include variable data. This data usually comes from existing host systems. Host system
specialists are responsible for generating the data files.
l
A PlanetPress® or PReS® Connect Specialist: This specialist is responsible for
creating and/or maintaining Capture OnTheGo related workflows and documents. The
processes in these workflows generate HTML forms and/or PDF documents, and make
them available to Capture OnTheGo users via the Internet, but they also reply to Capture
OnTheGo user document requests, and receive data sent by Capture OnTheGo users.
