How To Add and Display Images, Videos and Sound Files to a Survey

Overview

SurveyToGo enables you to attach a picture or any other media content, like Word files, sounds, videos etc.. to a specific question of a survey and then enables the surveyor to view that content while he/she is on the relevant question. This is very useful when you need to show a picture of a product and then ask questions about it.

Today there are 2 options:

1. Add the image/video/sound as an attachment

2. Add an image only directly to the Question - this option will also allow you to show text before and after the image. 

Option 1 - Add as an Attachment

You can add an attachment (image/video/audio) using 2 methods:

  1. Add the attachment to the survey 
    • Navigate to the survey Advanced tab 
    • click on 'Edit Survey Attachments' 
    • Choose 'New' to add the attachments 
    • repeat until all attachments are uploaded
    • Once all attachments are added navigate to the relevant question you would like to show the attachment in - click on Advanced - Attachments - and check the attachment you would like to show and click OK
  2. Add the attachment directly to the question you would like to show it in
  • Open up SurveyToGo Designer
  • Select the relevant question and switch to the Advanced tab:
  • Click the “Attachments” link:
  • You will then see the question attachments screen from which you can either select a previous loaded attachment or add a new one. To add a new one, click the “New” button:
    add file.jpg
  • Click the OK button to close the window, and then ok again to continue:
  • That’s it. Save a deploy the survey.

Option 2 - Add Directly into the Question

Insert a picture as embedded HTML image file in the question's body

With picture files, you can add those as an HTML image embedded in the question's body, instead of attach them to the question as shown above.

To add a picture to the question's body, click on the "Insert Picture" button in the question's View tab:

insert_pic.png

Choose the wanted image:

And it will be inserted where you want in the question's body:

Attachment Properties 

There are different attachment properties that control the attachments and described here:
