2019.1

Since you cannot predict what type of browser will be used, you should make sure your scripts
are compatible with a wide range of browser types and versions.
JavaScript resources included in a Print section are executed on the Preview tab. (The editor
for a Print section does not have a Live tab.)
Note
The internal browser engine which is used as of version 2018.2, Gecko 38, is compliant
with the ECMAScript 5 language specification.
This means that scripts using features described in ECMAScript 2015 (aka ES6) - such
as the keyword let - will fail in the Preview and Livetab of the Designer. Nevertheless,
they should work fine when processed by a (modern) client browser. (See for example
the browser compatibility table at the bottom of the Mozilla documentation for "let":

generate forms for the Capture OnTheGo mobile application. For more information about the
application refer to these websites: Capture OnTheGo and Capture OnTheGo in the Resource
Center.

submitted, the form data is sent to the Workflow server. (See: "Specifying an action" on
the facing page.)
l
It may contain special COTG Input elements, like a Signature, Geolocation, or Camera
element. These require the COTG JavaScript library to be added to the template. This
happens automatically when the Form is created with a COTG Template Wizard.
l
Thanks to the mobile app, it may be used offline. The app will submit the Form data when
a connection to the internet is available. Just make sure, if the Form uses remotely stored
