l The "Metadata Level Creation" on page490 creates the Document level of the metadata
by placing each PDFdata file in its own Document level. It does this by detecting when
the Address in the document changes.
l Then, the "Metadata Fields Management" on page480 adds a few fields at the Document
level in order to properly tag each document with the appropriate information, in this case
the CustomerID, Country and Rep ID. These fields are identical to ones that would have
been added in PlanetPress Design, and are used for the following metadata tasks.
l The "Metadata Filter" on page487 follows by removing any invoice that is not in the US.
Note that the Metadata filter is an *inclusive*filter, meaning that the filter includes the
parts of the metadata where the result of the filter is true, and filters out anything else.
l The "Metadata Sorter" on page495 then re-orders the metadata documents by Rep ID, so
that all of the invoices for any particular sales representative are all together.
l "Lookup in Microsoft® Excel® Documents" on page415 then uses the Rep IDfield to
retrieve each sales rep's email from a specific Excel spreadsheet.
l The "Metadata Sequencer" on page493 acts like a splitter, where the separation
happens whenever the Rep ID changes. Since documents are sorted with that field, each
sequence can contain one or more document, but they will all be for the same Rep ID.
l "Create PDF" on page277 is then used to generate a single PDFfor each sales rep.
Because Create PDFworks in conjunction with Metadata and because it can be used in
pass-through mode, in this instance it will only take the relevant PDFpages from the
original data file in order to create a single PDF file. Other than the extraction of these
pages, the original concatenated data file is untouched.
l Finally, the output is done using a "Send to Folder" on page589 in this case. Obviously,
this should be a "Send Email" on page584 output, but since we don't want to spam
anyone, instead we place the PDFin a folder with the rep id's email as a folder name.
Capture OnTheGo Workflow
Capture OnTheGo is a web-based form system that can be sent to a mobile device such as a
phone or tablet, utilizing the device's native features (such as the camera, GPS, touch-screen,
etc) to provide enhanced forms.
Note
For more information, take a look at the Capture OnTheGo Website, which also contains
the documentation. For support please see the Capture OnTheGo Q&AForums.
