Session flow
The menu item "Session flow" gathers what happens between the start button and the return to the start screen. It has four parts.
During the session#
Controls during the session — whether guests may cancel a running session and how the cancel looks: as a button in the row below the picture or as a round "X" in the top right corner.
Layout selection screen — whether title, description and number of captures are shown there.
Capture and info screens — whether the layout title and the capture counter are visible during the session and on the in-between screens.
Notices on the final screen — the short messages at the top when printing, mailing or uploading starts. Size and duration can be set.
Picture preview and retakes#
Shows the picture just taken for a moment after each capture.
| Setting | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Display duration | In seconds; 0 means it stays until the guest confirms |
| Also for single-image layouts | With it off, the preview only appears for multi-shot layouts |
| Offer retake | Guests may repeat a failed picture |
| Maximum retakes | 0 means unlimited |
Countdowns#
| Setting | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Countdown before capture | Duration in seconds; 0 hides the display |
| Position | Where the number appears over the live image |
| Design | The look of the display, with a preview |
| Sound | Countdown sound, selectable and playable |
Three seconds is a good starting value: enough to get sorted, short enough not to lose the smile.
Return to the start screen#
Sends the booth back to the start screen when nobody is operating it. Every touch restarts the clock. It can be set separately for:
- selection and info screens
- the gallery
- the final screen
0 switches the respective area off, the maximum is 900 seconds. A progress bar runs along the bottom edge and can be switched off; above it a notice can be shown in which {seconds} inserts the remaining time.
In addition the booth can ask "Are you still there?" first: "I'm still here" restarts the clock, no answer returns to the start screen.
Without this return, a half-used booth sits on its last screen, and the next guest cannot tell whether they are interrupting or free to start.
