Candyโ€™s Weekly Recap: Exciting New Features and Updates!๐Ÿ“ธ๐ŸŽ‰
Hello, my fabulous photographer friends!

โ€

Candy here, ready to sprinkle some sparkle on your day with our latest Weekly Recap! ๐ŸŒŸ

โ€

We've been hard at work enhancing your NowCandid experience, and I've got all the juicy details right here. Let's dive in! ๐ŸŠโ€โ™€๏ธ

โ€

1. Retail Site Enhancements ๐Ÿ›๏ธ

โ€

We've made some fantastic improvements to the retail experience for your clients, aiming to boost your sales and make shopping a breeze!

โ€

  • Diamond Gloss Upsell for Packages๐Ÿ’Ž When clients add a package containing prints to their cart, they'll now see a Diamond Gloss upsell popup. They can choose to add that finish to every print in their package.
    โ€
  • โ€Clearer Product Naming๐Ÿ“ The Medium Res Gallery Download (only offered and always offered when you're doing a QuicPics or QuicPicsย GOย Event) now automatically renames to Free Gallery when there's no high-resolution personal gallery offered. Just like the individual download does!
    โ€
  • โ€Smart Cart Management๐Ÿ›’ If a client has already added the Personal Gallery Download to their cart, it will be hidden from the shopping screen.

2. Dashboard Improvements ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ

โ€

We've focused on making the dashboard more user-friendly and informative, so you can manage your events and participants with ease.

โ€

  • Quick Access to Folder Stats๐Ÿ“Š An Event's Folder Stats button is now visible right from the Event List page.
    โ€
  • โ€Enhanced Order Details๐Ÿ” The Order Details popup in the Sales Report now shows the quantity of each item ordered.
    โ€โ€
  • Flexible Participant Management๐Ÿ‘ฅ When manually creating or editing a participant, the phone number field is now optional.
    โ€
  • Advanced Report Filters๐Ÿ“ˆ We've added new advanced settings to the reports, allowing you to filter out or include $0 sales and hidden events. This gives you greater control over your data analysis!
    โ€
  • Marketing Control๐Ÿ›๏ธ Marking an event as Invisible on the web dashboard now automatically stops its marketing.

3. Capture App Version 4.6.9 Updates ๐Ÿ“ฑ

โ€

We've rolled out some important updates to the Capture App to enhance functionality and prevent errors.

โ€

  • BGR Folder Activation Confirmation๐ŸŽจ To enable a BGR (Background Removal) folder on the app, users must now check an "I understand" box. Helps new team members avoid accidentally enabling BGR when it's not intended, saving you time and resources.
    โ€
  • โ€Improved Phone Number Validation๐Ÿ“ž The app now prevents the use of obviously fake phone numbers like 333-333-3333 or 444-444-4444.
    โ€
  • โ€Auto-Refresh Event List on iOS๐Ÿ”„ When returning to the app on iOS devices, the event list will now auto-refresh. Reduces the chance of seeing outdated event details, keeping you informed on the go.

    โ€

Swift Event Swaps! ๐Ÿ”„

โ€

Got multiple NowCandid Events? We've got you! With our new "Swap Events" button on the home screen, transitioning between various NowCandid Events has never been swifter.

โ€

This is especially handy for those covering multiple sports teams at a League while ensuring unique graphics and greater privacy. Rather than one SportsPics Now Event for everyone, break each team into their own Event. Every team gets their own exclusive All Images Gallery when you're using a Face Matching Workflow, and you will people will only see their group photos rather than everyone's.

โ€

A Closer Look: Zoom & Pan ๐Ÿ”

โ€

We've all been there โ€“ wanting to get up close and personal with a pic to check out every detail. Now you can! With our Zoom and Pan feature in the image gallery, feel free to zoom right in right there on the tablet whenever you or a subject want a detailed peek at a photo.

โ€

Crystal Clear Checkbox โœ…

โ€

We're all about clarity! So, we've revamped that SD checkbox text you see when you're logging in. It now reads as "Upload all images on SD card."

โ€

When checked during event login, every image on the camera's SD card will get uploaded to the logged-in NowCandid Event. Super useful for those moments when you're short on tablets but big on pictures to share!

โ€

And A Little Extra... ๐Ÿ”ง

โ€

Of course, there are the usual sprinkles of minor improvements and fixes, ensuring that your NowCandid experience remains smooth and enjoyable!

โ€

And there you have it!

โ€

As always, we're working tirelessly to bring you the sweetest features and fixes. ๐Ÿญ

โ€

Until next time, keep snapping and enjoy the new updates!

Whatโ€™s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

  • List Three
