| The
events module is designed to capture any types
of images from a series of customers, then package
and sell those images. Common uses of the module
include Santa Photography, Debutante Balls and
School Formals, Sports Events, Social Events and
Tourism. The system can distribute images by EMail
and also link with the dScope Online solution
to place images onto the web and accept orders.
The
functionality of the Events module is driven through
the Events Workflow screen. |
| The
following list of steps describes a average shoot
using dScope. To see more details about any of
these steps, click on the item in the list below.

Design and Create Product Offerings
If
you want to offer packaged products to the customers,
there are two types of output that can be created with
dScope.
Packages can be designed and developed within dScope
using the Package module. You can design any number
of different package pages in the system and store each
package page as a template. For more details about the
packages and the Package module, click
here.

Special
Presentations cover the highly personalised product
pages that are now being used more extensively
in the market. These presentations include the
customer details in the product and usually have
complex backgrounds and themes. Special Presentations
are created as one off requirements by our team
to match your design requirements.
Note
that it is very important the the paper width
used for all prints offered (including groups
and composites) is the same, otherwise the printing
process will involve a very large number of paper
changes.
These
two screens are used to define exactly what products
you are going to offer to the customers.
Using
the package templates screen you can define up
to 5 package based offerings, each of which can
have up to three different pages in them. The
same page can be used in any number of offerings,
and each offering is given a name and a price. |
Once
a series of pages have been selected and grouped
into offerings, the whole product set can be saved
as a template that can be reused at any time.
The
presentation templates screen is used to perform
a similar role with Special Presentations. You can
choose a series of special presentations and group
them into offerings. Again, a particular series
of presentations and the way they are grouped into
offerings can be saved as a template for reuse. |

Review and Edit Data

you have not entered all the data during the shoot,
or there is a requirement to edit some data after
the shoot, the Review and Edit data screen presents
all the information in a spread sheet format. New
data can be added and existing data changed in any
or all of the records using this screen without
having to cycle through all the records in the capture
or image review screens. |

for manual distribution or mailing, or set the
product for digital distribution by Email.
If
you are not working in pre paid or pre ordered
mode, the system can be used to distribute proofs
by Email or prepare those images for placing on
the web through the dScope Online process.
