In addition to the maps and styling options that Maptionnaire provides, you can also use your own images, maps, video or audio clips, GIFs and documents in your surveys and pages.
There are two ways to upload your own files to Maptionnaire:
-
Upload them directly in the survey or webpage editor by simply clicking the New/Upload button. The file you add is now stored in Materials and can also be used in other surveys/webpages your team creates.
-
Go to Materials and click New. The file can also be used in other surveys/webpages your team creates.

Note how style changes affect your materials
Any changes you make to the styling of map layers/images within the questionnaire editor are saved directly to the source material, functioning in the same way as if you were editing them in the Materials section. This means that styling changes are global: if you use the same item in multiple questionnaires, any style updates made in one will apply to all others once those questionnaires are republished. If you wish to use the same dataset with different styles across various questionnaires, we recommend creating separate copies of the item in Materials.

Keeping your images and other materials organized and easy to find
Problem:
You have multiple ongoing projects in Maptionnaire, and now the Materials section is full of images, map layers and documents from all of them.
Solution:
Tag your materials! You can give each image, map file, document and audio file a tag. Then, when you are putting together a survey or a page, you can just use the tag to bring up all the different files related to that specific project.
In Materials, you can look up what files you have already added for the project by filtering by tag.
When building a survey / page, you can simply pick a tag...
...and the drop-down menu will only show files that share that tag.
