Candy's Weekly Recap: New Image Timeline Stats, Capture App Update & More!πŸ“ΈπŸŽ‰
Hello, my fabulous photographer friends!

‍

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 while this week is a bit lighter on changes (we're cooking up some exciting things for January!), I've got all the juicy details right here. Let's dive in! πŸŠβ€β™€οΈ

‍

1. New "Images per 15 Minutes" Stat on Image Timeline πŸ“ˆ

‍

We recently introduced the Image Timeline feature, and now we've made it even better!

‍

  • What's New: There's a new "Images per 15 Minutes" stat available.
    ‍
  • How to Access: You can find this by going to your Manage Images page within an event and clicking on the Image Timeline button (looks like a little stopwatch!).
    ‍
  • Why It Matters: This stat helps you visualize your (or your photographer's) shooting pace throughout the event, identifying peak activity times and lulls.

‍

‍

2. Capture App Version 4.10 for Windows πŸ’»

‍

We've released Version 4.10 for the Windows Capture App!

‍

  • Performance Improvements: This update includes various performance enhancements to make your capturing process smoother.
    ‍
  • Note: These updates weren't needed for the iOS version at this time.

‍

3. Manage Images Page Sorting Update πŸ—‚οΈ

‍

We've improved the Manage Images page for better usability.

‍

  • New Default Sorting: Images now sort by newest first by default.
    ‍
  • Toggle Option: You can easily toggle to sort by older images first if you prefer.
    ‍
  • How to Use: Look for the new sorting button on the Manage Images page (a small button with up and down arrows!).

‍

‍

4. Quick Access to Default Price Levels Spreadsheet πŸ’°

‍

Setting up events just got a little easier!

‍

  • New Link: There's now a direct link to the Default Price Levels spreadsheet right from the Offer Selection dropdown during Event Creation.
    ‍
  • Why It's Helpful: Easily review pricing details without cancelling the event creation process.

‍

‍

5. Image Uploader Now Detects Corrupt Files πŸ› οΈ

‍

We've enhanced the reliability of our image uploading process.

‍

  • Corrupt File Detection: The image uploader now catches corrupt image files during image validation.
    ‍
  • Benefits: Prevents issues down the line by alerting you to any problematic files before they’re uploaded.

‍

‍

We're always here to support you!

‍

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

‍

Cheers and sparkles,

‍

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.
