For Event Creators : Client Storyz
A Storyz is the OurStoryz name for a group of Events for a single client. All Events that you create can be assigned to a Client. The resulting event groups form a "Storyz" visible to clients.
As an example, a wedding might be a Storyz. Individual Events (Rehearsal, Ceremony, Reception) would form individual events in the wedding.
Advantages
- The Storyz provides information common to all events, like dress/attire, travel plans, and age limitations. You can create custom text fields as well
- The Storyz will appear as background info in the guest app for the event
- Each event will become a page in your online photobook - "Keepsake Album"
How many events can you have in a Storyz?
This depends on your account.
- Locator - only 1 event is allowed in a Storyz
- DIY - unlimited events in 1 Storyz
- Professional - unlimited Storyz, each with an unlimited number of events.
Locator accounts don't allow multiple events under a Storyz. So, if you are going to have several events within a bigger event, you will need to upgrade to DIY or Professional service
DIY will let you create several events, and group them under 1 Storyz.
If your are a professional event planner, with multiple clients, you can create a Storyz for each of your clients, and build their events in their Storyz.
Editing your Storyz
If you are using Locator, you will route to your single event after login. Just select the "Storyz" header at the top-left of the page.
If you are using DIY, when you log in, you will automatically go to your Storyz Dashboard.
If you are using Professional, you will see your Organization page when you log in. Look for the "Storyz" panel, and select the Storyz you want to access.
Entering Storyz information
Your Storyz should include information that is common to all its events. Remember that each event has a guest list, and guest lists may differ. What do you want to tell everyone that comes to any of your events? The image below shows information for a sample event:
Storyz name - a name for our Storyz, big enough to include all your events
Storyz description - a description of your Storyz. Its most important use is your online photobook - your Keepsake Album
Greeting - You can provide a common message for all your guests, regardless of which events they attend
Storyz type (optional) - pick a category for the type. This will help guests search for their Storyz on the ourstoryz.com website
Hosted by (optional) - you can list a specific host, distinct from your Organization
Visibility - this lets you hide the Storyz information on our guest app. If you are inviting guests to one event, but don't want them to know that there are related events, this is a good option.
How Storyz information can be viewed
Your guests who are using the Guest app will see a link to the Storyz on the event home screen
Guests who use the mini-website will see the information on the home page. Location may vary, depending on the web page template you chose for your event.
Additional Fields
You can also add additional custom information to your Storyz. Examples include travel, rules for guest wear, event goals - be creative.
To add an additional field, go to the Additional fields panel, and select "Add" at the top-right:
You will see a dialog that lets you add a new field.
Once added, you can turn individual fields on or off. If you turn a field off, it will not be visible on your event websites, or in the OurStoryz guest app.
Adding events to a Storyz
Your Storyz Dashboard has a list of all the events you have created. To add a new one, select the "Add" button
You will see a popup dialog where you can create the event.
Once an event is created, you can access it and perform other actions by selecting the ellipsis menu:
Quick edit - Change name, type, and dates without leaving the Storyz
Event details - Change settings related to the event
Event dashboard - Go to the home page for the event
Duplicate event - This option is only available within DIY and Professional accounts. If you select this option, you can make a copy of the event, and add it to your Storyz. This is useful when you are setting up a large number of similar events within a Storyz.
Move to another Storyz - This option is only available within Professional if you select this option, you can transfer your events between Storyz. A common use case would be duplicating an event in Storyz A, and transferring the duplicated event to a new Storyz. This saves time for Professional users who want to duplicate similar events for each of their clients in their own Storyz.
Adding a Storyz (Professional only)
Professional account users will frequently need to create a new Storyz. For example, a professional event planner might create 1 Storyz for each of their clients. To add a new Storyz, navigate to Organization, and select the "New Storyz" button in the Storyz panel:
