All filtering options can be found inside your gallery under:
Gallery → Settings → Filtering
This guide explains what each filter does and how to configure it.
1. Browse by Collection
If your photos are split into collections, enabling this allows visitors to filter the gallery by those collections on the front end.
How it works
Customers will see a list/grid of collection names when browsing.
They can click into a collection to view only the photos inside it.
If you would like this to be enabled, toggle it on and click settings under Browse by collection to access:
• Collection alias
Change the name that appears to customers. For example, you can rename "Collection" to "Race Waves", "Stages", or "Categories".
• View mode: Dropdown or Grid
Decide how the collections display:
Dropdown – space-saving list
Grid – Once this is toggled on, you will be prompted to choose an (optional) listing image.
2. Search by Selfie
Enable facial recognition so visitors can upload or take a selfie to find themselves in your gallery. This is especially helpful for running, cycling, school, or large group events and recommend most our members use this filtering option.
Settings
Match Threshold
Controls how closely the system matches faces to photos. We Recommended:
80% for adults
90% for children under 12 (as facial features change more rapidly)
If enabled, a “Find my photos” and "add a selfie" option will appear on the gallery.
3. Search by Timestamp
Allows visitors to filter photos by the time they were taken. If you would like our system to use the timestamp from the camera’s internal clock.
Useful for:
Events with grouped start times
Sports where participants know their approximate finish time
Multi-wave races
Toggle on/off depending on whether time filtering is useful for your event.
4. Search by Number (or Text)
This enables visitors to search using text-based identifiers, such as:
Bib numbers (running)
Vehicle plates (motorsport)
Toggle this on/off to suit your event type.
