The fastest way to place large groups of student portraits

Multi-Flow allows you to flow multiple pages of student portraits at once, saving time and keeping students in the correct order across pages. Follow the steps below to ensure your flow runs smoothly.

Before You Begin

Before using Multi-Flow, confirm the following:

At least one page of students in this group has already been flowed

All pages you plan to flow:

• Use the same layout
• Have the same number of portrait frames

Your student list is organized in the correct order

Important: Multi-Flow builds off an existing flow. If no students are flowed yet, Multi-Flow will not be available.

Step-by-Step: Using Multi-Flow to Flow Portrait Pages

1. Flow 1 Page of the group you want to Multi-Flow (Flow across multiple pages on the same template) 

Click the People tab

Select Flow People

Select the same Group you flowed one page of then Click the Multi-Flow button

2. Review Available Pages

Once Multi-Flow opens, you’ll see two sections:

Left side:

Displays the number of pages available to flow based on remaining students

Right side:

Shows your yearbook pages where students can be placed

3. Assign Pages

Click and Drag a page from the left side (available pages) onto a page on the right side where you want the group to be flown onto. Each Page will show the group/grade and the order they should be placed in are in parenthesis. In the below example, the circled page is showing grade 4 and the second page of them. 

Repeat until all desired pages are assigned. 

4. Complete the Flow

Once all pages are assigned, click CLOSE

Open the newly flowed pages in the designer and click SAVE

Do not skip saving. Pages must be opened and saved for the flow to finalize correctly.

Best Practices for Multi-Flow

Set up the template you want to use prior to multi-flowing. The same template will be used for all pages of the selected group. 

Flow in sections 

Avoid moving or deleting pages in the section after Multi-Flow is complete

Do not manually place or remove portraits

Troubleshooting Multi-Flow

If Multi-Flow isn’t working as expected, check the following:

Is at least one page already flowed?

Are any portrait frames locked?

Are there enough portraits to multi-flow?

Did any pages already have portrait templates placed?

Has the student list changed since the original flow?

When Should I Use Multi-Flow?
