Digital download improvements

• 2nd sale digital download sales – once a digital file with an individual password is purchased, the flag is set for free digital download so that a person with that password can come back any time as long as the gallery is live and click the image download link and get the image again. This is disabled for group photos (where there is no password for that photo) to prevent one person from buying a group photo and everyone getting that image for free
• When the hhschools hhimagehost 2nd sale digital download is delivered, the image is rendered to 2400 pixels on the short side at 300 dpi with no compression so that the consumer will always receive a product that is in the MB so they are getting a large file they expect

• Added animation to consumer interface to indicate that that files were being prepared

• Proof plan v2 and Prepay v2 – in subject data, we added the ability to select what type of field it was so that we could add phone number and email address validation for the consumer to help keep the data clean
• hhih 2nd sale digital downloads – if an email has multiple images that has the same password, then we are sending just one text and email to notify them rather than one for each image
• If a consumer enters their phone number when making an order, hhimagehost displays text “data and text rates may apply” to cover us and the studio from complaint of sending a notification that costs someone money
• A couple of grammar clean ups (like adding an apostrophe s “Your child’s password…”)
• Prepay v2 & Proof plan v2 – fixed an issue where the marketing image was getting cut off when the description text was too long which was compressing the space for the marketing image. Now the description text will scale and can wrap on top of the marketing image if needed for space

Event forwarding – Added mistake proofing When you try to delete an event that is forwarded to from another event, hhimagehost will warn you and give you the option to cancel, or continue. If you continue then it will remove the event forwarding from the other event.

Studio reports – Added a feature where if there are two events with the same name and one is deleted, then mark the status as “deleted” to make it easier on the report to know which event is which

Studio Event Manage Images – Add a “return to event details” button to top of page to eliminate having to scroll to the bottom of the page to go back to the Event Details page.

2nd sale product - Remove Ashlynn Necklace which has been discontinued

Consumer Image gallery album list – Add “All” and “Favorites” to the top of the album list to simplify consumer navigation

Prepay v2 and Proof plan v2 – When using “Build your own package”, we updated so now there are three ways the system reminds the consumer to use their points:

1. “Select your items” screen – shows “points used” and “points remining”
   
   
2. NEW - When consumer tries to proceed to next screen, if they have used less than 50% of their points, then a message appears “you must select more items before proceeding”. If they have used at least 50% the interface allows the consumer to proceed. Before now the interface would only ensure the consumer chose one item. We chose 50% to ensure the customer feels like they have received value for their purchase without enforcing requirements that could be interpreted as being difficult to do business with.
   
   
3. Cart Screen – If not all points are used, there is a link “Use remaining points” to give the consumer a simple way to select more items if they wish.
   
   

Create / modify price list – added mistake proofing that prevents proceeding without saving changes

Event Greeting and Organization welcome message screens – added tools for studio to easier customize the welcome message

If a 2nd sale purchase is only for an image download, then hhimagehost doesn’t require a “ship to” address in the order data to create a better experience

Studio Event Images – Fixed an issue when studio was searching for an image and clicked on a next page, caused the search filter to be reset.
