Weekly Recap: Clarity Campaign, Offer Previews & Fresh Fixes!🎯

Hey there, photography superheroes! 🦸‍♀️📸

‍

This week, we've launched a wave of updates designed to make the NowCandid™ experience smoother, clearer, and even more photographer-friendly.

‍

From helpful interface changes to new sharing tools and fixes to long-standing quirks—there’s a lot to cover, so let’s jump in!

‍

💡 The Clarity Campaign: Making Things Make More Sense™

‍

We’ve been listening to feedback and noticed some common points of confusion around terminology in the dashboard, reports, and app. So, we’re making some well-needed name changes that we think will make life easier for everyone—especially new users just getting started.

‍

Here’s what’s changing:

‍

• • GroupTag(s) → PhotoTag(s)
  ‍
  A more intuitive name to describe this helpful organization tool!
  ‍
• • FaceMatch Import → PhotoRosters™
  ‍
  • “FaceMatch Import” is now “PhotoRosters”
    ‍
  • “FaceGroups” are now “PhotoRosters”
    ‍
  • “Organizations” remain the same
    ‍
• • Participant(s) → Contact(s) (most places)
  ‍
  • On reports and list pages, you'll now see “Contacts” or "Participants & Contacts" instead
    ‍
  • “Participants” now refers only to Contacts with matched or assigned images
    ‍
• • Home tab → Reports tab
  ‍
  Plus, “Events” is now the first tab in the dashboard navigation, making the flow easier for new users!

‍

These aren’t just name changes—they’re clarity boosters designed to help everyone understand the platform faster and more fully. 💡

‍

Reports will be updated next week as well to reflect this changes, hopefully making them even more accurate & helpful! We love reporting & analytics around here.

‍

🔍 Price & Product Preview Pages

‍

Photographers can now generate read-only URLs of their Offers to share with school officials, parents, or event organizers ahead of time.

‍

✅ What this means:

• • You can preview exactly what the pricing and product lineups will look like
  ‍
• • Share a clean, professional view of your Offer—no dashboard access required
  ‍
• • Useful for gatekeepers who need to approve pricing or product options in advance

‍

Find this option in the Offers tab today! 🚀

⚙️ Dashboard Tweaks & Tools

‍

Small changes = big improvements to your workflow. Here's what's new:

‍

• ✉️ You can now edit your Business Email in Profile Settings (this affects retail site contact and backprinting!)

• 🧮 Unassigned Image Count added to the image count popup in Manage Images

• 🔁 Associated Events now visible at the PhotoRoster level (not just at the Org level)
  ‍
• 📜 Offer Logs! You can now view an edit history of each Custom Offer, including edits made by you or the NowCandid™ team

‍

🔧 Notable Fixes

We’ve patched some common hiccups:

‍

• 📱 Selfie Check-In bugs on newer Samsung phones
  ‍
• 📷 Fixes for uploading from camera roll on iOS
  ‍
