Capture OnTheGo Main Features
Capture OnTheGo users can do the following:
• Download PDF documents, such as user guides or data sheets.
• Download HTML forms that can be filled out directly on mobile devices. These forms can
be blank, but in most cases they will contain information that needs to be completed or
validated.
• Here are some of the form actions that Capture OnTheGo users can do on their mobile
device:
o Select relevant information using drop-down menus,
o Select options using check-boxes or radio-buttons,
o Fill in text boxes,
o Edit the information that’s already there,
o Add notes,
o Highlight information,
o Add or edit dates (using an integrated calendar) and times,
o Add pictures, either by selecting existing ones, or by using the device’s camera
to create new ones,
o Make picture annotations,
o Specify your location information based on your GPS coordinates,
o Add signatures.
• Send back the information at the click of a button once the form is completed. Note that
only the information is sent over the internet. The received information and the forms
are reassembled by PlanetPress® or PReS® Workflow on your servers.
In reality, Capture OnTheGo lets users perform any form action that is compatible with the
Apache Cordova
set of device APIs as well as regular HTML form data.
The Capture OnTheGo Architecture
The Capture OnTheGo solution is composed of four separate parts:
• 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.
• 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.
• The Capture OnTheGo Server where you manage users and groups, documents and
categories. It makes the link between PlanetPress® or PReS® Connect and the devices.
• The Capture OnTheGo app that lets device users download forms, fill them out, and
send the collected information back.
