Create a Data Project | Snapizzi Knowledge Base

Data projects are ideal for scenarios where you have a CSV file of subject or product data ready to import. This setup is commonly used for:

School Photography
Youth Sports Team & Individual Photography
Ballet Schools (supporting multiple groups per subject)
High-Volume Commercial Photography (connecting product data to images)
Other uses where you need to link subject/product data with images and/or group photos

Data projects generate camera cards containing the uploaded data for each subject. Simply photograph the card (paper or digital) before taking individual photos. Since contact information is already available, you don’t need to give cards to subjects afterward. Additionally, group cards are provided to be photographed before each group session, ensuring the correct group photos are added to each subject’s gallery.

After processing, Snapizzi creates a Subject List with all project data, including subject codes, image files, and gallery URLs. This list enables you to send photo links directly to customers. Alternatively, you can configure the Studio Search Page to let them find their photos.

Data projects also offer Paper Proofing and Bundles for school service items, making it a flexible option for a variety of high-volume photography needs.

Screenshot of step #3 of the guide, instructing the user: 'Name your project.'

Screenshot of step #4 of the guide, instructing the user: 'Select the hosting platform to use for the project (this option will only appear if you have more than one platform linked to your Snapizzi account). '

Screenshot of step #5 of the guide, instructing the user: 'SUBJECT PRIVACY: Select privacy settings for subject galleries. These options can be changed at any time.'

Screenshot of step #6 of the guide, instructing the user: 'The indexing method is what Snapizzi uses to determine the proper sequence of your image files when processing. Time taken typically provides the best results and should be your first choice.'

Name, privacy, and indexing can be changed at any time. Even after the photos have been uploaded and processed. The project type can be changed as long as no photos have been uploaded.

There isn't any reason to rename files before uploading to Snapizzi, but if your workflow includes renaming before uploading, be sure that your filenames include leading zeros equal to the highest number in the sequence (e.g., 0001-9999 rather than 1-9999).

Snapizzi can export renamed versions of your image files for you if needed.
