locale of the device on which the user is viewing the form. A Date Element displays dates in the
ISO 8601 format: YYYY-MM-DD.
When the form is submitted, the date data is sent as plain text. A Formatted Date element
submits the date in two formats: in the format that depends on the device's regional and
language settings and in the ISO format mentioned above (using a hidden field). A Date
element sends the date in the ISO format only.
Device Info
The Device Info Element adds a field that contains some information about the device (phone
or tablet) that is submitting the COTG Form. This includes the device's type (Android or iOS),
operating system version, device model and its UUID (Universally Unique Identifier). This
information can be useful for both troubleshooting, if errors occur on specific device types for
example, as well as for security validation: it is possible to maintain a list of device UUIDs that
are allowed access, to prevent unauthorized use even if someone has a user name and
password to a repository.
Fields Table
The Fields Table element adds a table with two rows, a delete button at the end of the first row
and an add button at the end of the second row. Inside the rows you can put whatever elements
you need. The user can click (or rather, touch) the Add button to add a row to the table. The
new row will contain the same elements as the first row. The names of all elements in the first
row will be extended with __0, while the names of the elements in the second row will be
extended with __1, etc.
Geolocation
The Geolocation Element adds a button to read the device's current GPS coordinates and save
them in a form field. When the button is pressed, the GPS coordinates are requested and
saved. When the form is submitted, the Geolocation data is sent in plain text.
Image & Annotation
The Image & Annotation element is meant to be used with an image that needs input from the
user. When inserting an Image & Annotation element you have to select the image. The user
can simply click (or rather, touch) the image to bring up the annotation dialog. Annotations can
be made in a Marker (semi-transparent) or Pencil (solid) style, in different colors and with
different widths.
Annotations are submitted in SVG format by a hidden input. The name of that input is the ID of
