How to attach media files or links as instructions in a form template

Updated

Why attach media files or links as instructions to a task?

A help/ informative text field is a field type in the form builder that allows you to share critical information or add context to help users understand how to complete the task with more in-depth knowledge. This can be presented in the form of a few sentences, a link to an external file, media files in the form of a PDF document, or images to communicate more visually.

Take note 

  • You can only attach media files or links as instructions to a task if you are the "Owner" or  "Admin" of the organization 
  • Attach media files or links as instructions to a task can only be done via the web portal
