Add images to Info Box in Forms using Field Maps Designer to increase ease of use

Info Boxes in the Field Maps Form are a great way to guide the field user through the data collection and provide effectively an in-line user guide with potentially a prompt before each question.

While the current Info Box is quite useful, it is limited to text only.

Adding images to the Info Box editor would allow more detailed guidance to be provided within the app. This could be examples of photos with framing suggestions etc, or could be examples of levels of damage to buildings.

Much of our data collection is done using offline maps, so it would be important that the images are able to be cached with the offline map and still visible even with no network connection.

Below is an example of an info box preceding a question, showing the info box editor on the right.

Many thanks, Pete

@Annie_K thank you for getting this to the review process stage.

Would it also be possible to consider other formatting options for info boxes as well?

For example text size and colour, highlighted text, and in a perfect world a background colour for the info box as well.

All of these combined - images and improved formatting - would allow us to build Field Maps forms that pop and draw user attention to specific parts of the form, and clearly define sections within the form.

Many thanks, Pete
