The Process that Receives Data from Capture OnTheGo Users
HTML documents that were downloaded can be used to collect information. This information
can be extremely varied, ranging from a simple signature confirming the reception of a parcel,
to a complete report including numbers, notes, pictures, etc. Once they have finished collecting
information on a given delivery or client, Capture OnTheGo App users simply need to tap the
Submit button on their intelligent device to send all this information to their organization via the
internet. Note that only the data is sent. Once on the receiving end, the data may be merged
with the same HTML document, but it may also be processed in a variety of ways, as required.
For this to happen, one last process is needed. This process also includes an HTTP Server
Input task, but in this case, the task is used to reply to POST requests, rather than GET
requests. When a Capture OnTheGo App user taps the Submit button, a POST request is sent
to a PlanetPress or PreS HTTP Server. The server replies by collecting the information, which
is passed down to other tasks. The process may include multiple branches and a large variety
of tasks. Some or all of the collected information may be used, as required, in a variety of ways.
l It may be passed on to other systems.
l It may be merged with the same form used by the Capture OnTheGo App user, or with a
different one, and then used to generate a PDF for archiving.
l It may be used to generate an email.
