l Workflow has been installed on the local machine, and the Workflow HTTP/Soap Service
has been started. To do this, in the Workflow menu, click Tools > Service Console, then
right-click HTTP/Soap Server and start it.
l
In the Designer menu Window > Preferences > Web, the Workflow URL has been set to
the correct host. The default is http://127.0.0.1:8080/_getSampleFormData_. This points
to an internal process of the Workflow component running at that host.
If these conditions are met, you can fill out the form in the Designer, in Live mode, and submit it.
The data file will be sent directly to the Designer. In this case, the Form's action will not be
taken into account. Once the Job Data File is received by the Connect server, a dialog appears
asking where to store it.
After saving the XML file to disk, you can view it, create or update a Data Mapping
Configuration for it (see "Data Mapping Configuration" on page56), and insert the data in a
template, using the Data Mapping Configuration (see "Personalizing content" on page485).
Note
Checkboxes and Radio buttons that are unchecked will not be submitted to the job data. This is
standard behavior in HTML. One can work around that by adding a hidden field before the
respective checkbox with the same name and for example value 0 (see "Using COTG Elements" on
page365).
Get submitted data via email
Getting submitted data via email requires the Form's action to be set to a test URL that contains
an API Key. You can obtain an API Key as follows.
1. Go to http://learn.objectiflune.com/.
2. Create an account, or log in to your account.
3. Go to your Profile Page, and click the API Key link.
Now, when creating or editing a COTG Form, you can use the API Key in the Form's action:
1. Select the Form (see "Selecting an element" on page377).
2.
On the Attributes pane, paste the following URL in the action field:
