Hi,

I've had a search on the forums but couldn't find anyone asking the same question. I was wondering whether anyone could tell me whether it is possible to tag files and text to the answers of survey questions. For example, say I designed the question:

Q: Did you clean and tidy up your workspace?
A: YES
A: NO

I would like the person answering this survey to be able to upload an image of their workspace as proof of their answer. Other examples include tagging text to an answer to justify their answering, or tagging a geo-tag (GPS location) to proof they were at their specified location.

I was thinking it may be possible through the API, but I don't have an idea how to do this yet.

Hello, Paul!


Starting at our Enterprise level, we offer the ability to include file upload fields in your survey so that your survey takers can upload images into your survey. We also automatically perform geo tracking at the Enterprise level – which is included on Data export and Reporting.


Hope this helps!

Hi Jonathan,


Thanks for your reply. I'm assuming you are referring to the File Upload Survey Question in the enterprise edition described here:
http://www.surveygizmo.com/sur…..d-resumes/

I was wondering if there was a way to do this without setting up a new question, but instead, have the file upload feature available for every question as some kind of tag. Would you know if it is possible through the API?


King regards,

Hey, Paul!


There really isn't a way to automatically make a file upload available without adding it as a question – you can make the upload a non-required question wherever you need it. You can even use Show/Hide triggers to maybe make it more aesthetically pleasing.

Hi Jonathan,

That's a good workaround, thanks for the info.
