When exporting a form that contains images, there are certain file formats (csv and xml) that are not capable of viewing these types of images. When dealing with these type of file formats, it’s usually best to extract these images separately from the rest of the data collected on the form. To allow for the extraction of these images separately, there is a form setting called “Embed images as data for CSV and XML”. When this setting is disabled, the images are extracted into a series of image (jpg) files and the data into its own separate csv or xml file.
Note: FMC, PDF and HTML file formats support image files and don’t require the above setting to be disabled.
