Pixture Event and Pixture Kiosk: two views, one dashboard

Pixture Event and Pixture Kiosk: two views, one dashboard

Your Pixture dashboard now has two views. Pixture Event is for booths that work a set of dates, like a wedding or a brand activation. Pixture Kiosk is for self-service photobooths that stay in one place, like a mall photobox. A third choice, Overview, shows both side by side. We build photobooth software and run our own booths, and we split the dashboard because the two businesses ask different questions every morning.

A wedding and a mall photobox share a printer, not a business.

The short version

View Use it for What you see
Pixture Event One booking, a client, a venue, a set of dates Events, Event sales, Event gallery, Event health
Pixture Kiosk A booth that earns every day in one spot Booths, Vouchers, Transactions, Gallery, Health
Overview Running both Total revenue, with Kiosk and Event split

Switch from the bottom of the sidebar. The sidebar follows the view, so each one only lists the pages it needs.

Why we split it

Customers kept running events on Kiosk booths, and they never saw that Event mode exists. It has its own pricing, templates, screens and a public album for the guests. Putting the two in separate views makes the right tool the obvious one.

How the money is split

Every sale is counted once, in exactly one view, so Pixture Kiosk plus Pixture Event always equals Overview. A sale is Event money when it belongs to an event or comes from an event booth, and that includes extra prints and AI portraits sold for those sessions. Everything else is Kiosk money, including sales at the counter.

If you ran events on a Kiosk booth before, your Kiosk revenue will look lower than last month. Nothing was lost. The Event view shows where it went.

Overview

The Overview shows your total with a chart that stacks Kiosk under Event, then one card for each with its share and top booths. Change the period or the booth at the top and everything follows.

The new top bar

The page title, the page's own filters, a Docs link, the updates bell and your account menu now sit in a bar across the top of every page. On a phone, the button on the left opens the sidebar.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to pick a view?
No. The first time you open the dashboard a window asks how you will use Pixture. Close it and you stay in Pixture Kiosk, the dashboard as it was. If you told Lucy what you run when you signed up, you start in the matching view.
Why did my Kiosk revenue go down?
Kiosk no longer includes event money. Sessions tagged to an event, sales on event booths and the extra prints or AI portraits sold for them now count in Pixture Event. Overview is the old total.
Does anything change on the booth?
No. Pairing, pricing, templates and the Pixture Photobooth app work as before. The views only change what the dashboard shows.
I do not see the switcher. Is something wrong?
The switcher shows on accounts that have events. If you do not see it, your dashboard works as it always did.
