Send COTG Test

The Send COTG Test dialog is used to send a document to the Capture OnTheGo app without the need to go through the Output to Capture OnTheGo task in PReS Workflow (see Workflow Help: Output to Capture OnTheGo).

For more information about Capture OnTheGo see: Capture OnTheGo.
For more information about testing COTG templates see Testing a Capture OnTheGo Template and this how-to: Testing a COTG template.

Note that to the contrary of the Output to Capture OnTheGo task in Workflow, when using the Send COTG Test dialog, the contents of the file will be sent to the Nu-Book server. The Output to Capture OnTheGo task only sends document meta data to the Nu-Book server. The contents of the file are transmitted (by Workflow) when requested by the COTG app.

A test template automatically appears in the app's Repository for 4 days from the moment it is sent. Once downloaded it remains accessible in the app's Library for 2 days.

The dialog is only available on templates containing a Web context. It does not, however, verify whether any Capture OnTheGo form elements have been added to the page.

The dialog contains the following options:

  • General group:
    • Server: Select the Capture OnTheGo server. COTG servers can be added via the preferences; see COTG Servers.
    • Store ID: The Nu-Book Store ID. If you don't have one, you can get a trial account for this purpose; please see this page for more details: http://www.captureonthego.com/en/promotion/.
    • Password: The password to the above Nu-Book Store.
    • Recipient(s): The user name(s) that should receive the document. One or more emails and/or user groups, separated by a comma.
    • Category: The category under which the document appears. If the category does not exist, it will be created on the server.
    • Send as Blank Form: Check this option to send the template as a reusable form. The form will not be deleted from the app's Library when it is submitted. To manually delete it from the Library, swipe it to the left.
  • Document Information group:
    • Title: The title that appears both on the Nu-Book management interface (https://config-us.captureonthego.com), as well as on the Capture OnTheGo application on the mobile device. Defaults to the name of the template and the currently active section.
    • Author: The name of the author or company.
    • Description: The title that appears both on the Nu-Book management interface (https://config-us.captureonthego.com), as well as on the Capture OnTheGo application on the mobile device when looking at the document's details.
