Models
Add, import and publish models, review applications, invite models to the portal.
Models holds your model database. In a casting office the same area is called Talent and works the same way, just without a website.
The list
At the top you choose All models, Active models, Inactive models or Featured models. Each row shows images, name, status and whether the model is On website. A note Under 18 or Age unknown comes from the date of birth, see Minors.
- A click on the name opens Edit model.
- For active models, Open page shows the public page and Comp card creates the PDF.
- The star Feature on the home page puts the model on the home page among the featured models.
- With the checkboxes you select several models and Activate, Deactivate or Delete them together.
Status and visibility
A model is Active or Inactive. Independently of that, it is On website or not.
- Activate sets an inactive model to active and shows it on the website.
- Deactivate always takes it off the website as well.
- Remove from website takes an active model offline without deactivating it, Show on website brings it back.
- A model under 18 without parental approval or without a date of birth cannot be published.
A booked model cannot be deleted.
Applications
Applications come in through the Become a Model form on your website. They appear in the list with the status Inactive, and your team gets the email New application (team). To accept, open the model, check details and images, approve the images and choose Activate. A rejection is not a status of its own: the model stays inactive, or you delete it.
What applicants see is described under Application.
Add a model
New model opens the form Add a new model. A new model is inactive. You upload images, videos and documents afterwards under Edit model in the Media area, see Images, videos and documents.
Import from a comp card
Import from comp card reads a comp card as a PDF of up to 25 MB:
Choose the PDF and Upload. The comp card is read.
Check and complete the details found. Anything not recognised with certainty stays empty.
Create model. The model is inactive, the images from the PDF wait for your approval.
Discard leaves nothing behind. Only a limited number of imports go through in a short time, after that the page asks you to try again an hour later.
Invite to the portal
Under Edit model, Portal, age and consents leads to the model's detail page. It has the Portal area:
- Invite to the portal sends an invitation to the model's email address. Without an address there is no invitation.
- Create comp card creates a card as a PDF in A5 from the approved images. It needs at least one approved image.
- Consents shows when the model agreed to which version. View the wording of this version opens the text.
- Availability, next 60 days shows the calendar the model keeps in the portal.
What the model can do in the portal is described under Model portal.
Approvals from the portal
What models change or upload in the portal only goes online with your approval. Approvals lists:
- Profile changes with Before and New for each field. Approve applies the change, Decline discards it. A reason given with a decline goes to the model.
- Images and videos waiting for approval.
The model changes contact details without approval, only your team sees them.
