Enabling and Disabling Share Options

Not every event needs every sharing method. ALIVE lets you toggle each option on or off globally in Settings.

How to Configure

Go to Settings
Find the Sharing section
Toggle each option: Print, QR Code, SMS, Email

These settings apply to all events. If you need different share options for a specific event, simply update the settings before going live.

What Happens When an Option Is Disabled?

The button for that sharing method simply doesn't appear on the share screen. Guests only see what's enabled.

All options enabled → Guests see QR, SMS, Email, Print (plus Native Share, which is always available)
Only Print enabled → Guests see Print and Native Share
Nothing enabled → Guests still see Native Share, but no other sharing methods

Native Share is always available — it can't be toggled off. It appears as an additional button alongside your other enabled sharing methods, giving guests access to AirDrop and the iOS share sheet.

Considerations

Method	Requires Setup?
Print	Yes — printer must be connected
QR Code	No — works out of the box
SMS	Yes — just enable it in settings
Email	Yes — just enable it in settings
Native Share	No — always available (cannot be disabled), uses the device's built-in share sheet (AirDrop on iPad)

Before your event, make sure to customize your SMS and Email message templates. See the SMS and Email setup articles for details.

Tips

Start with QR — It works immediately and is the simplest option
Add Print if you have hardware — Guests love physical prints
Customize SMS and Email templates — They're worth it for lead collection
Fewer options = faster flow — Only enable what the client actually needs
