All COTG elements have a role attribute. This attribute is not supposed to be edited:without
the correct role attribute, the element won't function.
As noted, the name attribute is what identifies the element after submitting the form.
Tip
Use the Outline pane at the left to see which elements are present in the template and to
select an element.
Use the Attributes pane at the right to see the current element's ID, class and some other
properties.
Use the Styles pane next to the Attributes pane to see which styles are applied to the
currently selected element.
Tip
Click the Edges button on the toolbar to highlight borders of elements on the Design tab.
The borders will not be visible on the Preview tab.
How to make COTG elements required
To make a COTG element required, or to change the validation of a COTG Form, right-click the
element and choose Validation settings. Set the Form's validation method to jQuery and set
the requirements and a message per field. For an explanation see "Changing a Form's
validation method" on page447.
Grouping data using arrays
A Job Data File is an XML file created by a Workflow process on submitting a Web Form or
COTG Form. Grouping data in a Job Data File greatly simplifies both the Data Mapping
workflow and looping over data in Designer scripts. A simple method to create arrays in that
data file is to use two pairs of square brackets in the name of the form inputs. Put the name of
the array between the first pair of square brackets. Between the second pair of square brackets,
define the key to which the value belongs. Consider the following HTML form inputs:
<input type="hidden" name="user_account"
value="[e-mail]">
