A Capture OnTheGo Form is actually just a Web Form, that you could add without a wizard, but
the COTG Template Wizards include the appropriate JavaScript files for the Capture OnTheGo
app, and styles to create user-friendly, responsive forms. They are built upon the Foundation
framework.
Foundation
With the exception of the most basic one, all Web Template Wizards in the Designer make use
of the Zurb Foundation front-end framework. A front-end framework is a collection of HTML,
CSS, and JavaScript files to build upon. Foundation is a responsive framework: it uses CSS
media queries and a mobile-first approach, so that websites built upon Foundation look good
and function well on multiple devices including desktop and laptop computers, tablets, and
mobile phones. Foundation is tested across many browsers and devices, and works back as far
as IE9 and Android 2. See http://foundation.zurb.com/learn/about.html.
For more information about the use of Foundation in the Designer, see "Using Foundation" on
page583.
After creating a COTG template, the other contexts can be added, as well as other sections
(see "Adding a context" on page469 and "Adding a Web page" on page547).
Tip
If the COTG Form replaces a paper form, it can be tempting to stick to the original layout. Although
that may increase the recognizability, it is better to give priority to the user-friendliness of the form.
Keep in mind that the COTG form will be used on a device and don't miss the chance to make it as
user-friendly as possible. See "Designing a COTG Template" on page575.
