Stored data

​

<div
    id="mark_damage"
    data-hf-control="InkControl"
    data-hf-options="{
    width: 226,
    height: 270,
    image: '{{HFFormPath}}/watermeter.png',
    required: true,
    clearButton: true }"
></div>

For each InkControl inside your Forms there are several value pairs of stored data:

The first two value pairs are the default data to be stored – the first pair indicates the InkControl has been used …

{
    "id": "mark_damage",
    "value": true
}

… and the second pair stores the information on the created image

{
    "id": "mark_damage_HFInkImage",
    "value": "mark_damage.png"
}

Finally, the third pair stores the information on the image merged with a provided background image

{
    "id": "mark_damage_HFInkImageMerged",
    "value": "mark_damage_merged.png"
}
