Subject Landing Page Improvements

Returning parents shouldn't have to start over. New Subject Landing Page improvements show them exactly where to go.

When parents click a link, they expect it to work. Until now, a parent coming back to a private job with Gallery Lookup enabled landed on an empty search, even if they had already registered or you had already uploaded their Subject Data. Many read that blank screen as "I need to register again," resulting in duplicate subject data in your jobs.

This Subject Landing Page replaces the empty Gallery Lookup screen with a page built around each family's subjects, right at the job URL. PhotoDay matches a returning parent's email or phone number to your Subject Data and shows a card for each of their subjects with the right next step. No Access Code needed.

Fewer duplicates, less confusion

If you've ever spent time cleaning up duplicate subjects or answering "do I need to register again?" messages, you're not alone. An empty search box gave families no sign that you already knew who they were.

Registration and Gallery Lookup used to live in separate places. When both are enabled for a job, we brought them together on one page, so returning families pick up right where they left off using the information you already have.

Now you know what's changed. Here's what families see when they come back.

One card per subject

Every subject linked to a parent's email or phone gets its own card, so families with more than one subject see everyone in one place.

The right next step, every time

Each card points to what that subject needs next. Parents can go straight to the gallery, finish registration with their info already filled in, or verify their email, if needed.

Recognized from the data you already have

Whether a parent registered, used lookup before, or you uploaded their subject data, PhotoDay automatically connects them to the right subjects.

No Access Code to dig up

Returning parents get back to their subjects without hunting for an Access Code.

Built around your subjects

Gallery Lookup asked families to search. The Subject Landing Page starts from what you already know about them.

• It uses the data you've already collected. Registrations, past lookups, and uploaded Subject Data all help match parents to their subjects.
• It keeps your subject list clean. Fewer duplicate records means less cleanup for you or your staff.
• It gives families one place to go. Registration and Gallery Lookup now live together at the job URL.
• It works on its own. There's nothing to set up or turn on.

Already working on your private jobs

The Subject Landing Page is live now on private jobs! Group and Public jobs are on the way. There's nothing you need to turn on—just share your job URL the way you always do, and returning parents will see their subjects or their personalized next steps automatically.

Returning families just got a much clearer path to their photos.
