Managing your Missions, Photos, and Collections

To access all of your existing Missions please click on “Manage Missions” in the brand menu.

The Foap Management Panel consists of three main areas: Missions, Photos, and Collections.

Missions

The Panel divides your brand’s Missions into 4 categories:

• Active – Missions that are currently running and are still available for Foap users to join
• Scheduled – Missions that are set to start at a given date in the future
• Finished – Missions that have finished are no longer available for users to join
• Drafts – Missions drafts

 

Actions in the Mission Panel

Click the “…” Icon to open Mission menu.

• Edit – allows you to edit your Mission: change title, description, cover photo etc.
• Mission Public Page – open the public website of your Mission

 

• Click “Show photos” button to see all the photos uploaded to the Mission

Photos

The photos tab is divided into 4 categories:

• Promoted – displays all photos that were accepted to the Mission by the Foap Curation Team organized by date. Promoted photos are all legally checked – the Foap Curation Team secures that the content is original and that all the legal issues are cleared. This means that all photos you see in the Promoted section are ready to be purchased.
• Starred – displays starred photos
• Purchased – displays purchased photos
• Rewarded – displays rewarded photos

Filtering Photos

Foap Mission Management Panel allows you to filter your photos by:

• Mission name – select one or many Mission names to filter your photos. Start typing the name of your mission in Search area to find it quickly. If you want to see all the Photos from all the Missions click on “Clear” button to remove the Mission filter.
• Advanced filter – click Show Filters to filter photos by Orientation (Landscape, Portrait, Square) or Size (in terms of MegaPixels)

Search

All the photos in the Foap ecosystem have metadata such as titles and keywords. In order to find the content you are looking for, type queries in the search box.

Remember that the search goes only through the filtered results. Therefore if you select e.g. Mission filter and type a search query, you will receive the results that match that query, limited to the Mission you selected in the filter.

Photo Options

If you hover the mouse over any photo you will see 4 icons that symbolize actions that can be applied to each photo.

• Add to cart – adds the photo to the cart.
• Download preview – downloads a watermarked medium quality copy of the photo which you can use in your mockups and designs to test the asset before purchase.
• Star photo – mark a photo with a star to mark your favorite content. You can then access all the starred photos in “Starred” tab.
• Add to collection – use this option to create your own shareable collections of images

Single Photo View

To open Single Photo View click on the photo in the Photos tab.

In this view, you can find data such as photo title, photographer’s username, photo size, file format, photo rating from the community and tags.

You can navigate to next and previous photos by clicking < and > icons or using arrows on your keyboard. To close the view click X or use “ESC” on your keyboard.

All Photo options are available also in the Single Photo View (Open in new tab, Add to cart, Download preview, Star photo, Add to Collection).

In order to get a shareable link to the photo click the “Open in new tab” icon, on the left of the “Add to cart” icon.

Buying Photos

Buying photos from the Foap platform is super easy!

Step 1: Make sure you have credits to your account 

Your credit balance is visible in the top right corner next to the name of your brand. To buy one photo you need 10 credits. If you don’t have sufficient credits please contact Foap Sales.

Step 2: Add photos to the cart

Add all the photos you want to buy to the cart. You can select many photos and add them to cart or add to cart each photo individually.

Step 3: Checkout

Click on the Cart Icon to view the content of your Cart. Click on “Buy and Pay with credits” button to license all the photos from your cart.

Step 4: Download your photos

Great! You have licensed photos from Foap. This means you are now the holder of a perpetual, worldwide license and you may use the content for any purpose, whether commercial or non-commercial. You can also modify, reproduce, publish, display and sub-license the photos, as well as create derivative works thereof.

You can download your photos either zipped in a bulk (by clicking Download all photos) or individually by clicking the download icon on each photo.

You can access all of your purchased photos at any time, by clicking the Purchased tab.

Collections

Collections are shareable photo albums. To create a Collection you can either select multiple photos and click “Add to Collection” or click “Add to Collection” icon in a single photo.

To Create a new Collection click on Create New Collection button, add a collection name and description.

Once you created a collection you can see it in the Collections tab. To edit collection click on the photos.
