4. Choose the destination:
• File...: Click to save the files as a package. This package can be loaded within the
Workflow tool, or directly opened in the Designer module to load all files at
once.
• Workflow machines: Send the files to a Workflow installation. This lists all the
detected Workflow installations detected on the network.
5. Click the Send button to package the files.
The Workflow
Although there are many possible scenarios, the standard Capture OnTheGo workflow generally
goes as follows. Note that some of the steps listed below do not involve an exchange of
information between Capture OnTheGo and PlanetPress® or PReS® Workflow. Those steps that
do involve communication between Capture OnTheGo and PlanetPress® or PReS® Connect have
been clearly identified.
1. A host system generates a data file. This file can contain data for a single client or for
multiple clients. The data itself may, for instance, refer only to clients (name, address
and so forth), or to clients and ordered items (as would be included in delivery slips).
2. A PlanetPress® or PReS® Workflow process uses a predefined document and the data
file to generate a single HTML document or multiple HTML documents, based on the
information stored in the data file. It then sends the generated documents to a location
monitored by an HTTP Server input process.
3. PlanetPress® or PReS® Workflow Makes a Document Available to Capture OnTheGo
Users
The Output to Capture OnTheGo plugin sends information about the newly available
documents to Capture OnTheGo users, based on each user’s profile. The documents in
question are thus added to the list of downloadable documents displayed via the
Capture OnTheGo app.
4. PlanetPress® or PReS® Workflow Replies to Document Requests from Capture
OnTheGo Users
An HTTP Server input plugin included in another process monitors Capture OnTheGo
user requests. When it does receive a document request from a valid user, it simply
replies by sending the requested document. The document in question is then added to
the list of available documents displayed on the Capture OnTheGo app user interface.
5. Once a Capture OnTheGo app user has opened an HTML form and entered all the
relevant information, he or she taps a button requesting that the information be
registered. The information is then sent back over the internet in the form of XML data.
If a connection is not available via a cell or Wi-Fi connection, the request is cached and
sent over the airwaves whenever a signal becomes available.
