the Image & Annotation element, followed by "-note-data", for example image_annotation1-
note-data.
Locale
The Locale Element does not have a UI element in the form. Inserting it adds a hidden input
field that will contain the device's set locale when the form is submitted. This data is sent in
plain text format and is available when processing the form data. The format is defined by the
device.
Signature
The Signature Element adds a signature box to a COTG form. These signatures are filled in via
touch input, either with a finger or capacitive pen. Touching the signature box opens up a
fullscreen box used to sign (generally more useful in Landscape mode depending on the
device); after confirming, the dialog saves the data into the Form.
Signature data is transmitted in SVG plain text format. To insert the signature data in a
template, store the data in a field in a Data Mapping Configuration as is, and drag that field from
the Data Model into a template to create a text script. The signature data can be inserted in the
template's HTML directly, because the Designer (as well as web browsers) knows how to
display this kind of data.
Time and Formatted Time
The Time element and the Formatted Time element display the current time on the device
when the form is first opened. When the element is touched, a time selector appears so the user
can modify this time. The Formatted Time element displays times in a format that depends on
the locale of the device on which the user is viewing the form. A Time Element displays dates
in the ISO 8601 format: HH:MM.
When the form is submitted, the time data is sent as plain text. A Formatted Time element
submits the time in both the ISO format mentioned above and in the format that depends on the
device's regional and language settings. A Time element sends the time in the ISO format only.
User Account
The User Account Element adds a hidden field that contains the Capture OnTheGo user
account (an email address) that was used to submit the form to the server. This is useful if a
form is available to many different users, to detect who submitted it.
