I want to add images next to the choices for a select multiple question. The choices are species of plants and I want to add images for faster and easier plant identification. Presently, the images appear only in the computer based survey and, if I add more than one image, the images do not appear with the corresponding choices. Also, if I add more than one image, the images scramble the list appearance of the choices. I also cannot adjust the size of the image that appears. It needs to be reasonably large for users of the application to recognize the plants. I have tried through the settings in the computer application and also by resizing and optimizing the images for web using IrfanView, neither changed a thing.

Hi Catherine,

Would it be possible to provide your XLSForm and media folder to me so that I can test the behavior that you have mentioned?  If you would prefer to send it to me in a private message, please feel free to do so by responding to the private message that I will send you in GeoNet.

Also, I am assuming that you are referencing the documentation linked below when setting up your form...

Thank you,

Brandon

It sounds like you are using the web builder, but here is how I did it in Connect.  Need to be sure the image file is in the 'media' folder for the survey.  For my veg survey i have it setup as yes/no questions.  So, in the choices tab I have CommonTansy.jpg in the 'image' field for my TansySelect list 'Yes' value.  

I don't think you can add more than one image and scaling, or zooming, doesn't seem to be possible on the app.  I've tried and the image is a static size, no zooming.  Hope this helps.

Catherine Murphy‌ Did you ever figure this out? I have added images to the to my choices in a select multiple question and it displays as expected in  Survey123 Connect see below: 

However when I publish this to the web, my web based survey fails to display the thumbnail in the same fashion as Survey123 connect see below: 

Is it possible to add images to a list of choices? Brandon Armstrong

Hi Francisco,

Images for multiple choice questions are currently supported in the web form.

Hello, How can I have the image appear in the report?

Have a simple yes / no question.

In the survey123 there is an image with yes and no.

When creating a report via the website I only get to see the yes or no, not the corresponding image.

Hi Gerard,

You refer to an image by the question name, the same as any other question; refer to Feature report templates—Survey123 for ArcGIS | ArcGIS for more details.  Note that this is not supported if you use ArcGIS Enterprise.

Hi, 

Thank you for your response, but I still don't get it.

You can see this in survey123.

In the report I just want to see this at the question.

How do I set this within the template?

Hi Gerard,

My apologies, I misunderstood the form you had; the screen captures helped clarify that.  The images attached to the question are not directly available in the feature report system, but have to be added to the template manually; you can then use an ${if ...} statement (see the conditional formatting section) to hide or show the content based on the answer:
