ACaptureOnTheGo(COTG)templatewillbeusedtocreateaform,thatcanbedownloaded,filledout
andsubmittedusingtheCOTGapp.Beforestartingtoactuallyusethetemplate,youwillwanttomake
surethatitproducesaformthatlooksgoodandfunctionsasexpected.Thistopicexplainshowtopre-
viewtheform,andhowtosubmitdataandpreviewthesubmitteddata.
