Workflow's default port number; 'action' should be replaced by the HTTP action of that
particular HTTP Server Input task).The method of a Capture OnTheGo form should be
POST to ensure that it doesn't hit a data limit when submitting the form. The GET method
adds the data to the URL, and the length of a URL is limited to 2048 characters.
Especially forms containing one or more Camera inputs may produce a voluminous data
stream that doesn't fit in the URL. GET also leaves data trails in log files, which raises
privacy concerns. Therefore POST is the preferred method to use.
5. Using the the Method drop-down, select whether the form should be sent using the GET
or POST method.
6. Using the next drop-down, select the form's Encryption Type (enctype):
l application/x-www-form-urlencoded: Default. All characters are encoded before
they are sent. Spaces are converted to "+" symbols, and special characters are
converted to ASCII HEX values.
l multipart/form-data: No characters are encoded. This value is required when you
are using forms that have a file upload control.
l text/plain: Spaces are converted to "+" symbols, but no special characters are
encoded.
7. Select a validation method:
l The Browser validation method leaves it up to the browser to validate the user
input. When adding fields to the Form (see the next step) you can only make fields
required and set the maximum length as an additional requirement for some fields.
l Select JQuery Validation to validate using JQuery scripts. This allows you to
specify stricter requirements per field and type a different message for each field to
display to the user if the input is not valid. This method ensures a more consistent
validation as it is browser independent. The necessary JQuery files will be added to
the JavaScript folder on the Resources pane when the form is inserted.
8. Under Fields, click the Add button and click on the desired field type to add a field of that
type; see "Form Elements" on page712.
Note
A Fieldset is not available in the Form Wizard, because a Fieldset itself can contain
multiple different fields. Add the Fieldset after inserting the Form; see "Adding
