The settings screen is divided into 6 menus accessible from the left column:

1. the start and end dates (by default, the day the production is created)
2. the location where the shoot takes place (e.g., photo studio)
3. a list of products
4. the workflow and alerts
5. additional information
6. an overall summary

The most important menu is Alerts and Workflow; all the others are optional.

To begin, we recommend not activating alerts and keeping the default settings.

At any time 🌈 you can return to this settings screen:

• From the Grand Shooting application's homepage, click on the “Show +” link to list all active productions.
• Check your production, then click on the 3 dots, and then on “Production Settings”.

Live, Phase 1, Phase 2, Export? These are the default names of a workflow's steps. Of course, you can rename them if you wish. Remember that a step in the workflow corresponds to a workspace for a team. If you have a single team in charge of all the production stages, then only Live may be necessary. For instance, if one team handles the capture and another the retouching, then we advise activating Live and Phase 1 in the production. You can activate a maximum of 2 phases in addition to Live in a production.

The Export step is a particular technical phase, activated on all productions. It is used to deliver the media for final validation.

Assign access rights to the person who will upload media in Live: in the Live section of the workflow settings, provide an email, a name, and then click on the “+” button to the right of the name.

The user will then receive an email asking them to log in to Grand Shooting and to create a password if they do not already have one.

In this example, the user Pedro receives an email in French. This email would have been in English if English were his default language.

[[gsHeadsUp]]Note that by default all users registered on your GS account have access to the productions you create.

To start, we do not need any additional workflow step: media uploaded in Live will be directly proposed for validation. To do so, remove Phase 1.

Finally, activate automatic export:

In this example, the account is set up to offer several export options. If you have just created your Grand Shooting account, by default you can only use the original export, meaning the validation of uploaded files without any transformation (no renaming, no resizing, etc.)

• You can change the workflow and modify the settings as much as necessary as long as no image has been uploaded.
• You can delete the production and recreate it as many times as you wish; it doesn’t matter as long as no image has been uploaded.
• Once images have been uploaded in Live or in another production phase, we advise that you no longer modify the workflow: do not add or remove any steps. However, you can always change access rights and add new guests.

That's it! You can now proceed to uploading images in Live.
