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

‍

We've been hard at work enhancing your NowCandid experience, and I've got all the details right here. Let's dive in! 🏊‍♀️

We're thrilled to unveil our brand-new "Find Me" portal!

‍

Make it easier than ever for your clients to find their photos!

‍

2. Retouching Now Available for Personal Gallery Downloads! 💄

‍

Great news! Retouching can now be applied to Personal Gallery Download products.

‍

  • Enhanced Offerings: Provide your clients with beautifully retouched images, even in their full gallery downloads.
  • Updated Retail Site: We've removed previous disclaimers, so customers know they can expect top-notch quality in every download.

‍

Add that extra touch of magic to your clients' memories!

‍

3. New Image Timeline Chart in Manage Images 🕰️

‍

Visualize your event like never before with our Image Timeline Chart!

‍

  • Accessible via Manage Images: Find it within any of your event's folders.
  • Insights at a Glance: See when images were taken, identify peak activity times, and spot any lulls.
  • Candy's Quick Summary: I'll even provide a brief overview to help you interpret the data.

‍

Optimize your shooting schedule and make the most of every event!

‍

4. Metadata Preservation in Web Dashboard 🗂️

‍

We've made an important update regarding image metadata:

‍

  • No More Stripping: The web dashboard no longer removes metadata from images.
  • Full Information: When you download images from the dashboard, all metadata is retained.
  • Future Features: This change sets the stage for more exciting features down the line.

‍

Keep all your valuable image information intact!

‍

5. Enhanced Selfie Check-In for SportsPics and GradPics 🤳

‍

We've improved the Selfie Check-In experience for your participants:

‍

  • Additional Contact Always Visible: The "Additional Contact" field now appears at all times.‍
    • Why It Matters: It's helpful for gathering parent or additional contact information.
  • Camera Roll Uploads for SportsPics: Participants can now upload an image from their camera roll as an alternative to taking a selfie.
    • Perfect For: Parents can easily check in using a photo of their child.

‍

Simplify the check-in process and collect essential info effortlessly!

‍

6. Introducing Web Traffic Metrics 📈

‍

Gain deeper insights with our new Web Traffic metrics!

‍

  • Event-Level Views: Access this data from the Marketing page within any of your events.
  • Participant Details: See whether a participant's gallery has been opened and how many times.
  • Conversion Rate Analysis: Compare web traffic to orders placed to gauge your conversion rate.
  • Informed Decisions: Use this information to decide if you need to adjust pricing.

‍

Note: Web traffic tracking started on November 14. Visits before this date were not recorded.

‍

7. All Reference Images Now Visible for Merged Participants 🖼️

‍

We've made a helpful tweak for managing participant data:

‍

  • Merged Participants: If participants merge by having the same phone number, you'll now see all their reference images on their details page.
  • Comprehensive View: This provides a complete picture of the participant's images, not just the first one.

‍

Manage your participant data with greater clarity!

‍

We're excited to introduce the Champion Plaque to our product lineup!

‍

  • Perfect for Sports Tournaments: Designed for medal winners to mount their medals onto the plaque.

‍

Offer your clients a unique way to celebrate their victories!

‍

  • Download Icon: Allows you to simultaneously download all of a participant's matched images.
  • Time Saver: No more downloading images one by one.

‍

Efficiently access participant images when you need them!

‍

We're always here to support you!

‍

So please, feel free to share your feedback or questions.

Weekly Recap: A Slicker Image Details Page & Some Nice Quality-of-Life Upgrades📸

Hey friends, Candy here!

‍

This week we’ve got a shiny new Image Details page, some small but mighty tweaks across the board, and a handful of fixes to make your dashboard life just a bit smoother.

‍

Let’s take a peek! 👀

‍

🌟 Brand-New Image Details Page!

‍

Your favorite behind-the-scenes image panel just got a makeover—and it's so much faster now! Whether you’re digging into face match data or reviewing contact info, everything’s loading snappier and more clearly than ever.

‍

You’ll notice:

  • • Cleaner layout 🧼
  • • Larger image preview
  • • Speedy load times ⚡
  • • Better organization of metadata 🗂️

‍

Details, Participants, and Logs have also been split into three distinct tabs!

‍

Go ahead, give it a click from the Manage Images page or a Participant's Details page!

‍

You can even hover highlighted faces with your mouse to view attached Participants!

‍

In case you need to know how to get to the Image Details page!

‍

🔧 Misc Changes & Improvements

‍

Some smart, helpful little tweaks that add up to a smoother experience:

‍

  • 🔗 Image Details links added to image previews on the Participant Details page (because shortcuts are life).
    ‍
  • 🖼️ Free Download / Medium-Res Download for QuicPics™ Events are now set to a 2:3 aspect ratio—perfect for showcasing your 2:3 Full Frame overlay art!
    ‍
  • 📦 Better retail display for big packages: Packages with 5+ items are now prettier, yay!

‍

A look at the new 5+ Item Package graphic! Retail Theme: Liquorice - Event Program: QuicPics

‍

  • 🎯 Face Matching Confidence level is now selectable during Event Creation, not just after. Set your confidence from the start!
    ‍
  • 🛡 GalleryGuard™ has been updated to work even on iOS 26. The screenshots stay black. The images stay safe.

‍

🐛 Bug Fixes

‍

A few pesky things we squashed this week:

‍

  • 🚫 The Unassigned Images count no longer includes BGR cutouts that have already been matched. More accurate image management FTW.
    ‍
  • 🔄 Some Events were having trouble loading the Manage Images page. That glitch has now been zapped. 💥

‍

That’s all for now!

‍

Be sure to check out the new Image Details page, and if you haven’t yet, try out GalleryGuard™ on your own iOS device—it’s basically wizardry. 🧙‍♂️

‍

Until next week,
💖 Candy

Weekly Recap: Longer Face Matching™, New PhotoRoster Tools & Retail Tweaks!🗓

Hey friends! 📸

‍

Candy here with another round of updates from the NowCandid™ world.

‍

This week brings big improvements for Face Matching™ Events, new ways to re-use your check-ins across Events, and a couple of helpful tweaks to the retail site and image management tools.

‍

Let’s dive in! 👇

‍

⏳ Face Matching™ Now Lasts 60 Days!

‍

That’s right—your Face Matching™ window has now doubled from 30 to 60 days from your Event's Start Date! 🙌

‍

This means even more time for:

  • • Late uploads to still get matched 🔄
    ‍
  • • Schools to send out the Selfie Check-In™ link after the Event 📬
    ‍
  • • Stragglers to find their photos 🧍‍♀️🧍‍♂️🧍

‍

But here’s your friendly reminder: the faster you upload, the better your sales! 🏃‍♂️💸

‍

📸 Every image uploaded goes through:

  • • Exposure correction automatically
    ‍
  • • Optional cart-wide light retouching for customers
    ‍
  • • Manual review for print color accuracy
    ‍
  • • Intuitive cropping tools for end users

‍

So don’t sit on your images to batch-edit them all—uploading sooner = more sales.

‍

Every day that passes = potential sales slipping by. Speed matters!

‍

🔁 Create PhotoRosters™ from Selfie Check-Ins!

‍

This one’s a fun one for graduation season! 🎓

‍

Now you can create a PhotoRoster™ directly from the Selfie Check-Ins™ of a previous Event.

‍

Here’s why it’s awesome:

  • • Ran a great Prom with tons of Check-Ins? ✅
    ‍
  • • Reuse that same data to auto-create your graduation PhotoRoster™! 🎓
    ‍
  • • If participants Check-In again or get added via Tap-A-Face™, NowCandid™ automatically merges based on contact info = no duplicate galleries, no confusion!

‍

Perfect for client relationships where you cater to all of their school's Events!

‍

‍

🧰 Misc. Improvements & Fixes

‍

A few extra goodies for your workflow this week:

‍

  • 🔠 New image name sort option on the Manage Images page (great for keeping sequences clean).
    ‍
  • 📲 Prominent Selfie Check-In™ button added to All Images galleries (so folks can find their pics even faster!).
    ‍
  • 🧾 A “non-refundable” tag has been added to the shopping cart & receipt for digital items to help set better expectations.
    ‍
    • (Digital photography = no take-backs! This helps avoid confusion.)

‍

That’s all for now! 🎉

‍

If you have any questions about the new features, you can always reach me from your dashboard! 💬

‍

See you next week for more enhancements and pro tips!

‍

Cheers,

Candy

Hey there! 👋

‍

Candy here with your weekly dose of NowCandid™ updates!

‍

We’ve rolled out some helpful new features to make check-ins smoother, shopping more intuitive, and checkouts faster. Let’s take a peek! 👀

‍

🌍 ¡Check-In en Español!

‍

We’ve added Spanish language support for all customer check-in pages, including:

  • • Selfie Check-In™
    ‍
  • • Simple Check-In
    ‍
  • • Scan Card Check-In

‍

The system will auto-detect the user’s browser language and serve the Spanish version when appropriate.

‍

More languages are planned in the future, so stay tuned! 🌐

‍

Bonus: We also have added Spanish versions of the Privacy Policy & Terms of Use for end customers to use!

‍

‍

🛍 Easier Package Shopping 🖼️

‍

Package selection just got a serious upgrade! 🎁

‍

When a customer is picking images for each item in a Package, they’ll now see:

  • • Tabs to toggle between All Images and their Personal Gallery
    ‍
  • • Pagination to easily flip through the All Images Tab

‍

This is especially useful when customers are shopping for Packages directly from a link to the All Images Gallery — now it’s easier to browse and find their perfect shot! 💫

‍

‍

🛠 Miscellaneous Fixes & Tweaks

‍

Here’s a quick roundup of other small (but mighty!) improvements this week:

  • 🏷️ Empty PhotoTags™ no longer appear on the retail site — cleaner and simpler for your customers!
    ‍
  • 💸 Venmo now shows up more consistently as an express checkout option.
    ‍
  • 📅 Interested in attending Summer Seminar 2025 in OKC? Head to the Profile Page in your dashboard for the invite and sign-up link!
    ‍
  • 🐞 Tons of small bug fixes and polish across the platform. We’re always working to keep things speedy, intuitive, and delightful!

‍

See you next week with more exciting improvements!

‍

As always, if you need anything — just ask me!😄

‍

Cheers,

Candy

What’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
