Think of Jobs like folders containing all subject, image, and order data for any photoshoot. Since Blueprint is cloud-based, all users interact with a local copy of a job, then sync to merge their changes. Users also have job tools to help preform actions like:
Capture
Import
Export
Sort
Print
and more!
Jobs have their own dashboard to review important settings and stats at-a-glance.
Create a job
Under Jobs, select New in the top-right corner to open the New Job Setup tool.
Fill out all the information on the first page to either create the job or continue the setup.

📝 *Only with Smart Workflow
While only the first page is required to create a job, many of these remaining optional sections may be required to complete for your workflow. They're not required to create a job, however, and can be modified at any time.
What settings should I use?
The mixed use of settings available within each section varies depending on your needs.
📝 Consider the following
Before you create a job, will the workflow require:
Assigning images to subjects?
Pre-Ordering or Proofing? Or both?
Extracting poses for background selection?
Fulfilling orders using bulk ordering or direct ship methods? or both?
Need any custom designs, products, or services fulfilled?
Asking those questions ⬆️
Should spark these questions ⬇️
Before you create a job, will the workflow require:
Assigning images to subjects?
Yes, and they'll need unique online codes for private access to their images.
No, everyone should see all organized images available for the event.
Pre-Ordering or Proofing? Or both?
Do you have the necessary price sheets for pre-order and proofing?
Do you have the necessary custom forms for pre-order?
Do you have or plan to receive a subject data file?
Are there any price sheet offers or discounts to build for pre-ordering?
Extracting poses for background selection?
Do you have the necessary background sets created?
Fulfilling orders using bulk ordering or direct ship methods? or both?
Do you have the necessary cart templates for order delivery?
Do you have the necessary job order fulfillment settings to match your cart?
Need any custom designs, products, or services fulfilled?
Do you have the necessary designs created in My Designs?
