Media and files

The following question types allow users to capture or upload media and files.

Image

Image provides a button to choose an image file from the device or take a photo using the device's camera if one is available. You can prevent the user from submitting an image file from the device by selecting Camera only as the image source. You can also allow the user to submit multiple images in one question response, up to a maximum of 99.

Caution:

If an image question contains multiple images, EXIF data cannot be extracted from the images. If you need to extract EXIF data from multiple images submitted to the same question, consider using a repeat.

This question type behaves in the same way as an image question in Survey123 Connect.

File upload

File upload provides a button to choose a file from the device. The Validation section allows the survey designer to define the allowed file types, first by category (Document, Archive, or a custom selection) and then by either a checklist or a comma-separated list of file name extensions. You can allow the user to submit multiple files in one question response, up to a maximum of 99.

Audio

Audio provides buttons to record or upload an audio file. The Validation section allows the survey designer to define the maximum duration of the audio files recorded or to specify it as a required question.

Signature

Signature provides a free drawing field to provide a signature. This signature will be saved as an image and added to the survey response as an attachment. The only additional option available for this question type is to specify it as a required question.
