Slapp Pro Beta Instructions

After installing the app, touch the Slapp icon (the picture of a slate) on your iPad or compatible device. 

This will launch the Slapp camera viewfinder.

Touching the 'i' icon on the right will bring up the photo custom metadata entry window. 

Touch the 'Add a row' icon in the centre. This will create two fields; Key and Value. 'Key' is the name you give your type of data. 'Value' is the information you want in the caption.

Once you have touched the 'add a row icon, you can touch the '+' plus sign at the bottom right to add more rows of fields up to 12 rows. 

To erase rows, touch the row and swipe all the way left or use the red trashcan. 

To add information to the Key and Value fields, touch and then type or paste your text. If your text is longer than either the Key or Value field it will still be recorded but it may overlap the next row in the photo captions if it is longer than the field shown. You can skip filling rows to lay long text in the caption field in the exported photo without overlaps. 

To hide the data entry fields, touch the 'i' icon again.

The app will always write your caption at the top of the image. It does not crop your image. Turn your device to landscape or portrait orientation and the text fields will be at the top and are added to and increase the original image dimensions of your device. 

Compose your photo and touch the shutter button on screen to take an image, with or without the data entry window open. 

After you take a photo, a small version will appear on the bottom right of your screen to confirm the image was taken and that the caption was added (this can be cleared by closing and opening the app).

Whatever was last written into the Key and Value fields will remain whenever the app is closed and opened.

Slapp saves your images to a folder in your native Apple photos application called 'Slapp Pro'. You can search and organise your Slapp images by using the native app's search features. Apple's Photos app will search for images by whatever keywords are written in the Value field. That app ignores values in the Key field but shows the search results in its Keywords window. 

For example if you set a row with a Key as "Set" and a Value as "Break Room" searching for "Set" will not yield results, only searching for "Break" will return the images tagged "Break Room". 

By use of the native Apple photos app and Slapp Pro, you will be able to rapidly and easily generate, store and retrieve Slapp images that both display and contain the user-generated metadata relevant to the subject of their images.

If you have any questions, get in touch.
