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, Singles/Networking
These are your global defaults — they apply to all events. You can also override share options on a per-event basis when configuring an individual event, so different events can have different sharing setups without changing your global settings.
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
Considerations
Method | Requires Setup? |
|---|---|
Yes — printer must be connected | |
QR Code | No — works out of the box |
SMS | Yes — just enable it in settings |
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) |
Auto Open QR
There's an additional setting called Auto Open QR in Settings → General. When enabled, the QR code modal opens automatically after AI effects are applied — so guests immediately see the QR code without needing to tap anything. Great for unattended booth setups.
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
- Use per-event overrides — Different clients may want different sharing options. Override globally-set options on a per-event basis instead of changing your defaults every time
