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708 or
"Changing a Form's properties" on page710.
Note
For testing purposes, it is possible to use another URL for the Form's action or not to
specify an action at all; see "Testing a Capture OnTheGo Template" on page593.
Filling a COTG template
Before inserting elements in a COTG Form, have the design ready; see "Designing a COTG
Template" on page569.
In a Capture OnTheGo form, you can use special Capture OnTheGo Form elements, such as a
Signature and a Barcode Scanner element. For a description of all COTG elements, see:
"COTG Elements" on page700. To learn how to use them, see "Using COTG Elements" on
page587.
Tip
If you have started creating your Capture OnTheGo template using a COTG Template
Wizard, you can find ready-made elements in the Snippets folder on the Resources pane.
Foundation, the framework added by the COTG template wizards, comes with a series of
features that can be very useful in COTG forms; see "Using Foundation" on page577.
Naturally, Web Form elements can also be used on COTG Forms (see "Forms" on page707
and "Form Elements" on page712) as well as text, images and other elements (see "Content
elements" on page624).
