Turning features on & off

The Features tab is your event’s central control panel. Here you decide what your guests can do and see in the gallery: likes, comments, activity feed, sharing, downloads, photo wall, map, video uploads, gamification (challenges, achievements, points, leaderboard) and AI face recognition.

  1. Open your event’s admin area. As a guest you reach it via the profile menu at the top right under Management → Admin Portal.

    Use the profile menu at the top right to reach Management and the Admin Portal.
  2. In the left sidebar, under Management, choose Settings (the cog icon).

  3. At the top, click the Features tab (the rocket icon). The tab order is: General → Image Quality → Style → Features → Privacy & Moderation → Photo Wall.

    Features tab with accordion sections and toggles for likes, comments, downloads and more
    Settings → Features: each section holds feature cards with a toggle.

At the top of the tab you’ll see the title Event Features with a short description. In the top right there are two bulk switches:

  • Disable All – turns everything off in one go.
  • Enable All – turns on every main and sub-feature plus all leaderboard categories. When all main features are on, the note All Features Enabled appears.

The tab is an accordion of collapsible sections. Each section shows a counter of active cards. Every feature card has an icon, a title, a short description, an info icon with a tooltip, and a toggle. If a feature isn’t part of your plan, you’ll see a premium hint instead of the toggle (on branded white-label events a locked card is hidden entirely).

This section is open by default.

  1. Like Photos – guests can mark photos with a heart and collect their favourites.

  2. Photo Comments – guests can write below photos and join the conversation.

  3. Activity Feed – a live feed of uploads, comments and likes. This feature is always available (not plan-dependent). When the feed is on, you can additionally enable Show on Home Page.

  4. Photo Sharing – guests can share photos on social media.

For what these features mean for guests, see Liking & Commenting, Activity Feed and Sharing.

  1. Single Downloads – guests can download individual photos.

  2. Bulk Downloads – guests can download entire albums or a selection as a ZIP file.

From the guest side: Download and Select & Download. As a host you export all photos via Download & Export.

  1. Photowall Display – shows live-uploaded photos on a big screen and adds the photo-wall button to the gallery search bar. Setup is covered in Photo Wall Setup.

  2. GPS Map View – guests explore photos on an interactive map. Sub-toggle Approximate positions (GPS fallback): photos without GPS data appear at the location of the nearest photo in time.

  3. Moderation Panel on Gallery – shows moderation status tabs right on the gallery page.

  4. Quick Sort Bar – shows a sort bar above the gallery.

  5. Album Quick Select – shows album chips below the sort bar so guests can switch between albums quickly.

  6. Memories Counter – a live counter of the total photos shared.

From the guest side: Map, Albums and Photo Wall.

Video Uploads – lets guests upload videos. This card depends on whether your plan includes video uploads.

From the guest side, uploading photos and videos is described in Uploading Photos.

Gamification section with photo challenges, achievements, points system and leaderboard
In the Gamification section you unlock challenges, achievements, points and the leaderboard.
  1. Photo Challenges – “Capture a group photo” type activities. Sub-toggles: Show Task Progress on Gallery and Show Achievement Progress on Tasks (only active when both achievements and task progress are on).

  2. Digital Achievements – “First photo upload” type rewards. Sub-toggle: Show Next Achievement on Gallery.

  3. Points System – awards points for guest actions.

  4. Activity Leaderboard – shows a ranking of the most active guests. Below it the Leaderboard Categories area appears with up to 13 on/off chips: points, likes received, achievements, likes given, tasks completed, unique tasks, images uploaded, shares, downloads, views given, views received, comments and comments received.

Once enabled, you create the content: Managing Photo Challenges, Achievements and Rewards & Tracking. From the guest side: Challenges and Points & Rewards.

Face Processing enables AI-powered face detection, recognition and grouping. This card is special: for data-protection reasons there is a mandatory consent step.

AI processing page showing the status of face processing
The AI Processing page shows progress while existing photos are processed.
  1. While the feature is off, you see a warning box: guests must be informed and give their consent in advance. Below it there is a mandatory checkbox “I confirm that I will inform my guests and obtain their consent”.

  2. The toggle is locked until you tick the checkbox. Only then can face recognition be turned on.

  3. The Learn more link opens a detailed GDPR info dialog titled Face Recognition – Guest Information. It contains the sections “Before the Event”, “At the Event”, “What to Communicate” (including a sample consent text) and “Guest Rights”. Close it with I understand.

  4. When the feature is on, an info box appears with a link to the AI Processing page, since processing existing photos can take a while.

For details on processing, see AI Processing. From the guest side: Face Search.

After enabling a feature, you create the matching content in the relevant area. Here’s an overview of the key dialogs – full guides are on the linked pages.

Albums manager with the list of albums and a button to create one
In the albums manager you create manual or smart albums via “New Album”.

Open the Albums Manager and click New Album. In the dialog:

  1. Album type: choose Manual (you add photos yourself) or Smart (photos are sorted in automatically by rules). Smart albums may be plan-dependent.

  2. Language selection for multilingual titles and descriptions.

  3. Title (required) and Description.

  4. For smart albums: the rule builder with criteria – including “Person” (face), which requires active face recognition.

  5. Sort within the album: “Sort photos by” (event default, upload date, capture date, likes, comments) and “Order” (event default, newest first, oldest first).

  6. Cover: automatic, upload, or – for existing albums – choose from the gallery. The cover is applied only when you save.

Save with Save; during a cover upload you see the progress in percent. Full guide: Albums Manager.

Challenge manager with tabs for challenges, achievements and points
In the gamification area you create tasks via “New Task” or import presets.

Open the Gamification area, choose the Tasks tab and click New Task. Basic fields:

  1. Language selection for multilingual content.

  2. Task (text field): a detailed description of the activity.

  3. Task Image: a drop zone with template selection.

You also set conditions and points. Instead of writing your own, you can Import Presets. Full guide: Managing Challenges.

Achievements editor with a list of achievements
In the achievements editor you create digital achievements in several steps.

In the same area, open the Achievements tab and click Add. The dialog guides you in four steps:

  1. Basic Information: Achievement Name (required, e.g. “Photo Master”) and Description (required).

  2. Visual Identity, Reward Type and Unlock Conditions follow in the remaining steps.

The area also has a Points Configuration tab. Full guide: Achievements.
