2.
Click the Get Job Data File on submit toolbar button. This replaces the default form
submit action and will send the form data to the Workflow's HTTP Service (which needs
to be running in the background).
Note
Workflow's HTTP Service must be running, but not necessarily the Workflow
Service itself.
3.
Hit the Submit button. Now the data file will be sent directly to the Designer. Once the Job
Data File is received by the Connect server, a dialog appears asking where to store it.
4. Save the XML file to disk. You can view it, create or update a Data Mapping Configuration
for it (see "Data Mapping Configuration" on page63), and insert the data in a template,
using the Data Mapping Configuration (see "Personalizing Content" on page499).
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
page375).
