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.
Date
The Date element inserts the current system date, optionally making it dynamic so that it
updates whenever the template is viewed or produces output.
Adding a date
To add a Date element, use the Insert > Date option in the menus. A dialog appears with the
following controls:
l
Language: Use the drop-down to select which language the date should be displayed in.
l
Update Automatically: Check to update the date automatically when the template is
viewed or produces output. When this option is checked, a placeholder is inserted in the
template and a script is created to update it automatically, otherwise a static text with the
date is inserted.
l
Available Formats: Select the date/time format in which to display the date.
Click OK to insert the date or Cancel to close the dialog.
Tip
If you are looking to add a date that originates from a record set, to a template, see: "Variable Data"
on page604. To insert a date you could use either the drag and drop method or the Text Script
Wizard; the latter lets you set the date/time format.
