Capture OnTheGo Workflow processes
A Capture OnTheGo solution requires no less than three basic processes in a Workflow configuration:
-
One process that generates a document (most often, a form), stores it and notifies the COTG app of the document's existence. Note that this process doesn't send the actual document. It sends a ticket to the Capture OnTheGo Server so that when the intended user logs in, the name of the document will appear in the app's Repository, signaling to the user that the document can be downloaded.
The key task in this process is the Output to Capture OnTheGo plugin. -
One process that authenticates and replies to document requests from COTG users. This process returns the actual document directly to the app. It starts with a Server Input task (the NodeJS Server Input task or the older HTTP Server Input task), which returns the final output of the process to the caller.
-
One process that receives and handles the data when a COTG user submits a form. This process starts with a Server Input task as well.
The three basic processes are described in more detail in the Capture OnTheGo Help Center.
Tip: An easy way to create a COTG solution, including the Workflow configuration and other files that it needs, is to use the COTG Timesheets Sample Project. See Sample Project: COTG Timesheets.
