Hi,

is there any possibility to add images/illustrations to questions in KoBoForm? I.e. together with a numerical/text-based question a picture appears on the smart phone display to enable also semi-literate enumerators to conduct surveys with KoBoCollect.... There was already another post on how to replace text with pictures, but I am interested in having both...text & pictures. Any help/suggestion is highly appreciated!

Thanks and regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
This is possible and I use it a lot, I am pasting an example of an xml syntax that has both the text and photo.

          <text id="P02">
            <value>Which Poster are you currently Exposing</value>
          </text>
          <text id="P02_1">
            <value>Poster A</value>
            <value form="image">jr://images/PA.jpg</value>
</text>
          <text id="P02_2">
            <value>Poster B</value>
            <value form="image">jr://images/PB.jpg</value>
</text>
          <text id="P02_3">
            <value>Poster C</value>
            <value form="image">jr://images/PC.jpg</value>
</text>
          <text id="P02_4">
            <value>Poster D</value>
            <value form="image">jr://images/PD.jpg</value>
</text>
          <text id="P02_5">
            <value>Poster E</value>
            <value form="image">jr://images/PE.jpg</value>
</text>
          <text id="P02_6">
            <value>Poster F</value>
            <value form="image">jr://images/PF.jpg</value>
</text>

    <select1 bind="P02">
      <label ref="jr:itext('P02')"/>
      <item>
        <label ref="jr:itext('P02_1')"/>
        <value>1</value>
      </item>
      <item>
        <label ref="jr:itext('P02_2')"/>
        <value>2</value>
      </item>
      <item>
        <label ref="jr:itext('P02_3')"/>
        <value>3</value>
      </item>
      <item>
        <label ref="jr:itext('P02_4')"/>
        <value>4</value>
      </item>
      <item>
        <label ref="jr:itext('P02_5')"/>
        <value>5</value>
      </item>
      <item>
        <label ref="jr:itext('P02_6')"/>
        <value>6</value>
      </item>
    </select1>
