eShare lets your school community submit photos directly to your eDesign library. Here’s how to set it up in Settings > eShare Settings:
- Step 1 — Unique Code: Create the code your community will use to submit photos (e.g., your Varsity job number or a custom code). Click Check Availability to confirm it’s not already in use.
- Step 2 — Dates: Set the date range for image submissions. Leave the end date blank if you don’t want a cutoff. Optional: show a link to eShare on the Yearbook Order Center, and show a YOC link after someone submits via eShare.
- Step 3 — Portrait Collection: Activate if you plan to receive student portraits through eShare. Set an optional end date. Optionally choose a custom designation field name and enter personalized submission guidelines.
- Step 4 — Contact Person: Designate the contact for eShare questions and daily email notifications when images are submitted. Defaults to the primary adviser. Note: only a yearbook adviser can access and approve eShare images.
- Step 5 — Direct Link: Copy the direct URL to post on your school’s website — this bypasses the code entry step for submitters. Marketing materials to promote image collection are also available here.
- Click Save and Apply. Settings take effect immediately.
