Would you like up-to-date photos of your auction clock batches every day? Easily take live batch photos with your smartphone or tablet, link them directly to your clock delivery forms and the photos will be displayed on the clock.

You can add a current photo to your clock delivery form both during and after creating clock letters. It does not matter whether you already have the photos on your computer or prefer to use your smartphone. Below you can read the different ways to add batch photos to your clock delivery form.

The following are discussed on this page:


Add batch photos while creating the clock delivery form

When creating your auction letter, you select the trade items you want to auction. Once you've confirmed your selection, you can use the three dots next to the photo to edit the product or detail photo for the clock front.

You can choose to select a photo or upload one. Did you just take the photo with your phone, for example? Then you can upload it. Do you have a suitable photo in your catalog or in your gallery of previously uploaded photos? Then you can choose a photo from there.

You can change the default clock photo by editing the item in the catalog. If you take a photo of the clock photo type, this photo will always be used when creating an auction form for this trade item.


Add batch photos after creating the clock delivery form

If you'd rather create your clock delivery forms first and then edit the batch photos, that's possible. In Floriday, go to Supply > Auction > Supply via the menu on the left.

You can edit a photo by scanning a letter or by clicking the three dots at the end of the letter.

The scanner is located at the bottom center:

Select a form

If you click on Select Form, you will see an overview of the forms you have created. On the right-hand side you can see the current auction day. To choose a different auction day, click on the date.

Click on the forms you want to attach new batch photos to. Then click the Close button at the top right.

You can select the Update Batch Photo option via the three dots behind the clock delivery line.


For the delivery form in question, you can choose whether to replace only the product photo or also the detail photo. On the right, you'll see the clock preview.

When you click on the camera you will see a screen where you can select a photo or upload it from your own computer/phone.

After selecting and saving, the photo will be replaced. This updated photo will then be displayed on the clock front.

After editing the batch photo, you'll see a blue camera icon next to the photo of the clock delivery form. This indicates that the photo has been edited. Hovering over the photo will enlarge it.


Scan a QR code or barcode

To scan a delivery form, log in to Floriday on your smartphone. Then, go to Supply > Auction > Supply and select the blue round button at the bottom to scan.

Your phone's camera will now open. Make sure you grant permission to your phone's camera. Point your camera at the barcode or QR code on your delivery note. The delivery note is now scanned; you can immediately add a new batch photo using your phone.

Tip!

Did you scan the QR code or barcode with your smartphone? You can immediately take a new photo with your phone! Tap the delivery note and then select the product photo or detailed photo of the batch.


Tips

  • If you supply products that are still budding or in the raw development stage, then a close-up photo (detail) is required (This applies to: Lily, Alstroemeria, Freesia, Narcissus, Hyacinth, Peony, Amaryllis, Nerine, Iris, Gladiolus and Tulip.)

  • Add your logo. You can do so in Floriday by going to Settings > Preferences > Organization-wide preferences > Batch photo feature. Upload your logo here. From now on, the logo will automatically be placed in the left corner of batch photos that you create in Floriday.

  • In the case of a Large Batch delivery (GP), the first form must be scanned, not the following one(s).
