Option 3: Multimedia Manager - Bulk Media Upload

If In order to bulk upload your multimedia files are already correctly labeled, you can chose "Bulk Upload Multimedia" on the right side of the screen. This tool will help you to match all the files to the relevant references. If the files are not yet labeled, you will need to use option 1 or 2 above.You will need to structure the files according to the file paths.
For example, take the image file: jr://file/commcare/germy/image/data/germs_all_cups.png
You need to name the file germs_all_cups.png. However, you also have to create a directory structure that mirrors the file path. So you need a "commcare" folder with a "germy" folder inside, then "image", then "data", and finally put the png inside that.will need to do the following:

  1. Label your multimedia files with the relevant question ID eg. if question ID=woman_name, then label the audio/image file as woman_name
    1. Once all your multimedia files are correctly labeled (with the relevant question ID), you now have the option to bulk upload your files (images/audio/video)
  2. Place all your images/audio files into correct directory structure that mirrors the file path
    1. You can see the file path in the Media section of the form builder by clicking on Advanced Show path  (see below)
      1. In the example below, the file path for the audio file is file/commcare/audio/data/anc_visit1
      2. In the below example, the file path for the image files is file/commcare/image/data/anc_visit1

commcare\image\data\anc_visit1

NB:  You can add all the relevant audio or image files into the appropriate data folder and now you can bulk upload them
