It may be reusable. This depends on a setting in the Output to Capture OnTheGo plug-in
(found on the Connectors tab) in Workflow (see the Workflow Help: Output to
CaptureOnTheGo). A reusable COTG Form is not deleted from the app's form library
when it is submitted, so it can be used again.
Creating a COTG Form
A Capture OnTheGo Form is actually just a Web Form, so you could add a Form element to a
Web page in the Web context without the use of a Template Wizard. It is strongly recommended
however, to start the COTG Template using one of the COTG Template Wizards. They all
include the appropriate JavaScript files and style sheets to create user-friendly, responsive
forms; see "Capture OnTheGo template wizards" on page560.
Before starting to create a COTG Form, take some time to structure the design process and to
get familiar with the principles of form design, as explained in the topic "Designing a COTG
Template" on page557.
Reusable forms
Capture OnTheGo forms can be single-use or reusable. This doesn't depend on the design
(although, of course, this should be reflected in the design). What makes a form reusable is a
setting in the Output to Capture OnTheGo plugin in Workflow; see Output to CaptureOnTheGo.
In the Capture OnTheGo app a reusable form is called a 'template'.
Forms for offline use
Capture OnTheGo forms can be used offline. This is the case even when the form relies on
remotely stored source files like JavaScript files and style sheets, provided that the option Use
cached Capture OnTheGo resource is checked when adding them to the form.
Specifying an action
The action of the Capture OnTheGo Form element should specify a Workflow HTTP Server
Input task (see Workflow Help: HTTP Server Input) that receives and handles the submitted
data. The action will look similiar to this: http://192.168.175.1:8080/actionname (where
actionname is the HTTP action of the HTTP Server Input task).
For information about specifying an action for a Form, see "Adding a Form" on page697 or
"Changing a Form's properties" on page700.
