Prerequisites

You need a price sheet and a shopping cart template before you can create a job.
You cannot change the following job configurations after the job is created:
- Subject Configuration
  - Checked (default): The job will have subjects to assign specific images.
  - Unchecked: The job has image groups for everybody to see everything.
- Green Screen
  - Checked: The job accepts PNG images and allows background ordering.
  - Unchecked: The job converts PNG images to JPG upon upload.

You cannot change the following configurations after images are added to the job
- although this sounds scarier than it really is:

Image Format
- Standard Format: Limiting image quality to 3200px on the longest side.
- Large Format (default): Maximum image quality 6000px on the longest side.
Disable Face Detection
- Faster image upload at the cost of disabling auto head-sizing.

❗Pre-Order jobs should always use a custom form❗

Getting Started with Jobs

What is a Job?

Think of a job like a folder that contains all of the Images, Orders, and Subject Data for a specific shoot or event. Everything you built and configured in Blueprint is used as the building blocks for a new job.

Any local changes made in a Job are to be synced back to the ImageQuix cloud and made available on every device you use.

Configuration

Here you will find several options for configuring your job's type and properties:

Configuration	Detailed	Additional
Subject	The job will support individual subject records - each having a unique online code used to access their gallery.	This option is checked by default. This option is locked after job creation.
Pre-Order	The job will support ordering on a gallery regardless of subject data or image availability. Check the box to allow customers to pre-order (submit orders without verifying subject gallery or selecting images).	Attach a Custom Form for customers to include data that will be needed to match orders to subjects after checkout. Toggle-off to force customers to verify subject gallery and order with image selections.
Green Screen	The job will support PNG images uploaded to the gallery and allow customers to view custom backgrounds rendered behind their pose online.	This option is locked once the job is created. The price sheet used needs Background Sets for customers to view and order on with their PNG image.
Hidden	The job is hidden from your studio's Gallery Landing Page.	Customers will only be able to access with a direct gallery or subject link.
Manually Set Online Codes	The job will allow you to customize or define a unique id for subjects when creating a subject or importing data. Leave unchecked to have Blueprint create and lock-in guaranteed unique codes for your subjects	Commonly-used when using subject-known unique identification as the "password" to the gallery. (ex. Student IDs). The job can still create guaranteed unique codes for subjects while this option is enabled, if needed.

Images

Here you will find several options for configuring how your job handles images:

Image Configuration	Detailed	Additional
Format	A set maximum-size an individual image that can be added; Choose from: Large Format Max of 6000px longest side Standard Format Max of 3200px longest side	Large Format is the default and recommended setting. Standard Format will limit Image Quality to help with upload speed
