FieldKo stores photos taken during audits as attachments and Salesforce Files on the taskSurveyAnswer__c records. As a Salesforce admin, you can export all these images in bulk as a single ZIP file.
FieldKo supports two standard approaches:
Option 1: Native Data Export — Schedule or run an ad-hoc org export that includes attachments and files.
Option 2: Salesforce Data Loader — Perform an export of the Attachment object via SOQL and retrieve the image files.
Follow the steps below for each method to download audit photos in one go.
Option 1: Export via Salesforce Data Export
Use Salesforce’s built-in Data Export (Setup > Data Management) to include all attachments and files, then filter to the FieldKo audit object.
Open Data Export:
In Setup, search Data Export under Data Management, then click Data Export.Configure export settings:
Tick Include images, documents, and attachments.
Tick Include Salesforce Files and Salesforce CRM Content document versions.
Select the FieldKo audit object:
Scroll or search the list for ArxxusRFMv1__taskSurveyAnswer__c (FieldKo’s custom survey answer object).
Check its box so that its records (and their attachments/files) are included.
Run or schedule the export:
Click Export Now for an immediate one-off export, or Schedule Export to set up a recurring job.
Salesforce will queue the job and email you when it’s ready.
Download the ZIP file:
When you receive the email, click the download link.
Inside the ZIP, find folders for attachments and files. The images from your selected
taskSurveyAnswer__crecords will be in those folders.
Option 2: Export via Salesforce Data Loader
For more control, use the Data Loader to export attachments related to audit records.
A. Prepare a CSV of Parent IDs
Export the record IDs:
Open Data Loader, click Export, and log in with your admin credentials.
Select the ArxxusRFMv1__taskSurveyAnswer__c object.
Choose fields
Idonly, and add a filter if needed (e.g.WHERE AuditDate__c > 2024-01-01).Save the CSV (e.g.
surveyAnswerIds.csv).
B. Export Attachments
Start the Attachment export:
In Data Loader, click Export again.
Select the Attachment object (use Show all Salesforce objects if you don’t see it).
Use a SOQL WHERE clause:
Instead of mapping fields, click SOQL Query and enter:
SELECT Id, ParentId, Body FROM Attachment WHERE ParentId IN (SELECT Id FROM ArxxusRFMv1__taskSurveyAnswer__c WHERE Id IN ('<comma-separated IDs>'))Or import your
surveyAnswerIds.csvand use ParentId matching:Map the
ParentIdfield to your CSV’sIdcolumn.Select Body as the only export field if you wish, or include others like
Name.
Run and download:
Click Save & Run.
When the job finishes, Data Loader creates a ZIP containing each attachment (the image files).
Open the Success file for details on which attachments were exported, then download the ZIP via the Data Loader Task Manager link.
Tips & Troubleshooting
Salesforce Files vs Attachments: If you capture photos as Salesforce Files (ContentVersion/ContentDocument), use a similar SOQL on ContentVersion:
SELECT Id, ContentDocumentId, VersionData FROM ContentVersion WHERE ContentDocumentId IN ( SELECT ContentDocumentId FROM ContentDocumentLink WHERE LinkedEntityId IN (<your record IDs>) )
Large volumes: For hundreds or thousands of images, Data Loader’s Bulk API mode or Data Export is more reliable than the standard UI export.
Filtering: Always preview your list of
taskSurveyAnswer__cIDs to ensure you export exactly the audits you need.Permissions: Ensure your Data Loader user has Read access on Attachment, ContentVersion, and the FieldKo objects involved.
Storage: Exported ZIP files can be large. Store them in a secure file share or document management system for future reference.
Verification: After export, open a sample of the images to confirm they’re intact and correctly associated with the right audit records.
By following these methods, you can efficiently extract all FieldKo audit photos in a single ZIP, whether you prefer the simplicity of Salesforce’s Data Export or the precision of Data Loader.
