Image Field
On Builder:
App UI:
The Image Field is used for uploading images/photos (it accepts JPEG, PNG, BMP and GIF image files).
Access Needed:
When using an Image question for the first time, you will need to grant access to the "Forms" app to use the device's camera and image gallery.
Head to the general settings on your device, search for "Forms" and enable Permissions for Camera / Photos / Gallery / Storage.
If the following error message pops up when trying to complete an Image Question: "Camera Access - Forms needs camera access to capture images", please enable permissions in the general settings of the device.
iOS:
Android:
Field Properties:
Label:
Name the field.
Extra Large:
Allows for extra large image sizes.
The app currently compresses images slightly in submissions. If you'd like to stop the app compressing images, then you can select the "Extra Large" setting for image fields in your forms.
Please note that this will create large submissions that may take longer to upload. We recommend opening the Submissions tab after making a submission and watching the submissions upload successfully.
Camera Only:
Limits the uploading options to images taken with the camera while the form is being completed.

Hint:
This allows you to give a hint to help people answer a specific question. This will be displayed below the field, on the device.
Initial Answer:
A default answer provided by you, placed in the question field. This text can be removed by the user.
Identifier:
How the field is identified in the form (the name of the field). You can also provide custom identifiers for long questions, to simplify template creation. Even though longer identifiers take up more space on the template, the data pertaining to that placeholder may not use all the given space and could possibly throw your template out of bounds.
