File Upload - Allow Capture

Last updated Aug 19 2018

The file upload element enables your form fillers to upload files and attach them to the form.
The 'Capture' property extends this functionality, because it allows the filler to capture an image, an audio or video right then and there, and attach it to your form.
When the form filler clicks on the File upload field - this immedietly opens the relevant application and enables him to capture his file.

Following are steps to use the 'Allow capture' option?

1- Select the file upload element on canvas


2- Go to ‘Properties’ panel > ‘Element’ tab > ‘Basic’  category
    Turn on the 'Include in email' checkbox


3- Go to ‘Properties’ panel > ‘Element’ tab > ‘Advanced’  category
    Turn on the “Allow capture” checkbox
4- You will then get three options:
   - Camera: used to capture images
   - Microphone: used to capture audio
   - Camcorder: used to capture a video

5- Choose one of these options- in this example: Camera


6- Turn on the “Allow accept” checkbox and enter a suitable value:
If you chose Camera → Type:  image/*
If you chose Microphone → Type:  audio/*
If you chose Camcorder→ Type:  video/*

since we chose "Camera" in the previous step - please type: image/*


7- Save your form and test it
- Publish your form as URL
- send it to yourself and open it in your Moblile phone browser.
- Click on the File upload field and the relevant application will automatically open (the camera, the audio recorder or the video camera).
- Once you've finished - Press on 'OK' and the file you just captured will be attched to the form's File Upload field.
- Submit the form
- Check your inbox and you will receive the submission, which includes your captured file.
