however, to start the COTG Template using one of the COTG Template Wizards. They all
include the appropriate JavaScript files and style sheets to create user-friendly, responsive
forms; see "Capture OnTheGo template wizards" on page579.
Before starting to create a COTG Form, take some time to structure the design process and to
get familiar with the principles of form design, as explained in the topic "Designing a COTG
Template" on page575.
Reusable forms
Capture OnTheGo forms can be single-use or reusable. This doesn't depend on the design
(although, of course, this should be reflected in the design). What makes a form reusable is a
setting in the Output to Capture OnTheGo plugin in Workflow; see Output to CaptureOnTheGo.
In the Capture OnTheGo app a reusable form is called a 'template'.
Forms for offline use
Capture OnTheGo forms can be used offline. This is the case even when the form relies on
remotely stored source files like JavaScript files and style sheets, provided that the option Use
cached Capture OnTheGo resource is checked when adding them to the form.
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713 or
"Changing a Form's properties" on page716.
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598.
Filling a COTG template
Before inserting elements in a COTG Form, have the design ready; see "Designing a COTG
Template" on page575.
