Hey there, photo friends!

‍

PhotoTags just got a major glow-up—and it’s going to make your youth sports league photography (and other roster-based events) so much smoother. ✨

‍

You probably already know PhotoTags as a way to organize images from an Event into public image groups—perfect for team photos, tournament games, or multi-day event galleries.

‍

But now? PhotoTags can also be assigned to Contacts. Let’s break down what’s new and how it all works together.

‍

📋 Assign PhotoTags in Your Rosters

‍

When uploading a roster to a Name Lookup Event in the Web Dashboard, you can now include PhotoTag columns in your spreadsheet.

‍

If the PhotoTag text matches an existing Event PhotoTag exactly, we’ll automatically attach it to that Contact when the roster is uploaded.

‍

👀 View & Edit PhotoTags for Contacts

‍

On the Participant Details page, you can now:

‍

• • See all PhotoTags assigned to that Contact
• • Assign or unassign additional PhotoTags
• • Rename PhotoTags without breaking existing links (the updates will flow everywhere!)

‍

🖨️ PhotoTags on Scan Cards

‍

Using the Scanner ID Workflow? Your downloaded Scan Cards now display any assigned PhotoTags—making it super easy to match the right cards to the right team. ⚽🏀🏈

‍

🖼️ Group Photos in Galleries

‍

If Group Photos are attached to a PhotoTag, they’ll automatically appear at the end of every personal gallery for subjects with that same PhotoTag. (Non-group images assigned to a PhotoTag won’t auto-appear in personal galleries.)

‍

📱 Sort Name Lookup by PhotoTag (Capture & Upload App v4.20.1)

‍

This one’s a game-changer for on-site shooting:

‍

You can now filter Name Lookup by PhotoTag—so if you’re photographing the “Panthers” next, just filter and only Panthers will appear.

‍

We’ve also polished the Name Lookup interface to make it faster and easier to navigate. You’re welcome. 😉

‍

That’s the scoop on PhotoTags for Participants! 🏷️💪

‍

Together, these changes mean:

‍

• • Faster on-site team photography
• • Better organization from roster upload to final gallery
• • Cleaner communication with coaches, parents, and teams
• • Happier clients (and fewer mix-ups!)

‍

Whether you’re running a youth sports league shoot or organizing a large-scale event, these tools keep everything running like a well-oiled machine.

‍

Keep tagging like a pro,‍
