Associating Batch Downloaded Photos from Survey123 to Certain Records

Question

Hi there,

I was wondering how photos that have been batch downloaded from Survey123 can be associated to the record with which it was submitted. The field workers that will be using the form need to take pictures at a site but when the photos are batched downloaded using a Python script there is no additional information. The survey contains a SiteID question and I wanted to associate each photo to the site at which it was taken. The photo question is a repeat because several photos need to be taken at each site. Is there anyway for site information to be attached to each photo? Maybe changing the name of the photos to something that involves the site name?

Thanks for your help!

You can also do this with an image repeat...

begin repeatbuilding_photosimageimageend repeat

and then point your survey to an existing feature service which is built from a FGDB that has relationships between the records and the attached photos...

Then the photos are in the database, attached to the appropriate parent records.

See the line right above it. You must make a view first in order to do a join.  Did you set he inDB and all that?

Yes those are field names.  See when you do a join it names the fields joinname.fieldname (just like when joining in ArcMap).  So you must reference then that way.

Note I am only doing the join because in mine i need to get some attributes from a another table in my service.  You prob do not need that part.

Hi Doug,

Thanks for the reply, I'm having a bit if trouble working through your script. At line 36 what does the "attachView" refer to? Also, within the field list are all the fields in quotes the names of fields in the survey?
