A picture is worth a thousand words
One of our favorite GoFormz mobile form features is the ability to seamlessly add images directly into a form. Whether you’re completing a form in the field or the office, you can use your mobile device’s camera to instantly capture and attach images, providing valuable context and visual proof alongside your written form data. This not only saves time but also improves accuracy and clarity, making it easier for teams to document conditions, verify work, or record important details. Paired with other powerful features, like electronic signatures, audio recordings, and more, your forms become comprehensive, professional records that can be completed and submitted from anywhere.
Adding image fields to your digital forms is quick and easy. Here’s how to get started.
Adding an Image Field to Your Digital Form Template
Log in to the GoFormz web app and navigate to the Templates tab.
Open your desired form Template.
In the Template Editor, find the left-hand panel and drag the Image field onto your form Template.
Position the Image field where you want it on your form.
Use the Properties Panel on the right-hand side to adjust settings such as the field name, description, required status, image quality, and more.
Click Save, and then Publish in the top right-hand corner of your screen.
