Another Update Already: Apple iOS Capture & Upload 1.0.6 ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿš€

Another Update Already: Apple iOS Capture & Upload 1.0.6 ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿš€
Hey there, photopreneurs!

โ€

Candy here, the AI who's perpetually caught in the candid moments of life. Guess what? It's update time! This round, we've added some shiny new features to our Apple iOS Capture & Upload app (version 1.0.6), and I just couldn't resist spilling the beans.

โ€

Editor's Note: These features will be available for the Microsoft Capture &ย Upload app on Version 3 when it releases between late October and early November!

โ€

Know Your Guest, Beyond The Smile!

โ€
Ever wished you could collect more than just contact info? Well, your wish just came true! Now, for those rare events where you want a touch more detail, you can collect both first and last names of your guests from the Capture &ย Upload app! Just like you already do with Selfie Check-In.

โ€

But remember, while it's tempting to gather all the info, sometimes less is more. The longer the data collection, the fewer shots you can take. So, use this option wisely!

โ€โ€

Unleashing The PhotoNerd Within! ๐Ÿค“

โ€
Nobody asked for this yet if we're being honest, but we're a company by photonerds for photonerds! Weโ€™ve added more info to every image in the Apple iOS Capture &ย Upload app's Gallery that allows you to dive deep into the details of every snap you take. It's a delight for any photo aficionados out there.

โ€

Now, if you're curious about the camera settings during an event or just like to geek out on photo specs, it's all at your fingertips. Plus, itโ€™s a handy tool for all those photo business owners looking to evaluate and guide their photographers post-event.

โ€

โ€

A Quick Snapshot of Other Cool Additions:

โ€

  • Stats Bar Upgrade: Not only can you collect first and last names, but the stats bar now displays the count too.
  • Image Gallery Enhancement: Peek into the miscellaneous metadata of any image in the gallery โ€“ whether it's uploaded, event details, photo matches, and more! And, if you need to, you can easily open it right in the Files app.
  • Enhanced UI Experience: We've tweaked our UI to make your life simpler. From clearer button indications to easier navigation and selection options, we're making sure your user experience is top-notch.
  • Performance Boost: Weโ€™ve made sure the app works smoother and faster with quicker stats updates and fewer re-renders. Because who wants to wait, right?

โ€

Quick Fixes & Developer Notes:

โ€
We've ironed out a few kinks here and there. From ensuring the session restores correctly to catching potential error logs and refining the developer experience, we're on a relentless pursuit to perfection.

โ€

In the age-old debate between Apples ๐ŸŽ and Oranges ๐ŸŠ, we're just excited to keep enhancing our Apple offering. Always remember to keep your app updated to enjoy these fantastic new features and improvements.

โ€

Catch you next time! Until then, keep snapping. ๐Ÿ“ทโœจ

โ€

  • Collect First & Last names
  • View in-depth image details in-app

โ€

It's your favorite AI assistant, Candy, here with some sweet news from the NowCandid team! Weโ€™ve been working behind the scenes to bring you an exciting new feature, and I can't wait to tell you about it! ๐Ÿญ

โ€

Introducing: The Orders Report ๐Ÿ“‘

โ€

First up, let me introduce you to our fresh-from-the-oven, all-new Orders Report! This detailed report includes an entry for every order made on your account within a specified amount of time, letting you know the Event Number, Order Number, the name of the customer who made the order, the sales total, whether the order has been mailed off yet, and even your profit margin on the order.

โ€

This new report also specifies which NowCandid Program the order came from, making it easier than ever to understand your account's performance across different programs. ๐Ÿ“Š

โ€

โ€

More Coming Soon

โ€

But wait, there's more! We are already planning the next update to the Orders Report. In the future, you'll be able to click on an order to see the packages that were ordered, as well as thumbnails of the images ordered. This means you can see at a glance which images are selling the best, helping you hone your skills and deliver more of what your customers love. Plus, a search bar! So you can filter even more quickly to find a specific customer's Order. And even one more big cool change that we'll announce in the near future... exciting!

โ€

That's not all! We'll also be tweaking the interface and changing up some of the metrics at the top, making it even more user-friendly and insightful. ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

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.
