Dashboard overview and your first experience
Find your way around the dashboard, open the draft experience set up for your event, and start another when you need one.
Getting Started
Written forNew usersThe dashboard is organized around teams and experiences. Start here! Snapbar usually sets up your first experience during onboarding, and Create starts another draft experience whenever you need one.
Steps
Find your way around
- Open Dashboard to see the current team workspace and active experiences.
- Use Create to start a new activation from the experience library.
- Open an experience card to manage submissions, leads, analytics, delivery, sharing, displays, and configuration.
- Use the profile menu to switch teams or manage account-level settings.
Open or create an experience
- 1Most accounts start with an experience already set up by Snapbar during onboarding. Open it from the dashboard to start customizing.
- 2When you need another activation, go to Create from the team navigation.
- 3Review the available experience types and choose the one that matches the event goal.

The Create page lists every experience type your team can start from. - 4Enter a name, confirm the type, choose the event start date, and add an optional description, then create the experience.

Create Experience asks for a name, type, event start date, and an optional description. The experience is active for 7 days from the start date. - 5Work through the configuration tabs before publishing or sharing the booth link.
What to know
- Most day-to-day work happens inside an experience.The first tabs are for live results: Submissions, Leads, and Analytics. The configuration tabs control the booth microsite (the public page guests open to participate), delivery emails, the recipient gallery, and displays.
- Some tabs are permission-gated.Tabs only appear for users with edit or admin permissions. If a tab you need is missing, ask a team owner to review your role.
- There are seven experience types.AI Photo Booth, AI Video, AI Stories, Event Headshots, Digital Photo Booth, Persona Quiz, and Trading Cards. The editor shows different product controls depending on the type.
- New experiences open to the Microsite tab.A new experience may open to the Microsite tab when there are no submissions yet. That lets you finish setup before guests start using it.
- Experiences run for 7 days from the start date.If your event dates change, contact Snapbar and they will adjust them for you.
- Do not see a setting you need?Advanced options, like AI styles and prompts, headshot looks, quiz logic, and overlays, are handled by Snapbar during your launch review. Have your reference files and the look you want ready when you select Request Launch.
Tips
- Name the experience clearly before sharing links so exports, displays, and reports are easy to identify later.
- If you are preparing for an event, check the Microsite, Delivery, Sharing, and Displays tabs before sharing links.
- If you are reviewing a finished event, start with Submissions, Leads, and Analytics.
