Attach invoices to sessions after the fact
When we have large jobs (sports league or school pictures), occasionally parents call to pay over the phone. It would be nice to enter the invoice quickly while you're on the phone with them and then go through the calendar later to find the session and attach the invoice.

Remove formatting rules from data entry fields
A couple of examples as well as someone's recent suggestion regarding auto correct, when typing 2 consecutive capital letters as a first name it reverts the second letter to lower case (workaround is inserting a space between letters, also when entering a hyphenated name it reverts the first letter of the second name to lower case (again the workaround is to insert unnecessary spaces)

Make auto correct an option.
We sometimes want to type in company names in all caps and Spectra used to let us do so but now it auto corrects it to have only the first letter capitalized. IBM should not be Ibm.

Create coupon codes for online booking
Like IBY, it would be fabulous to be able to create a limited time coupon code for sessions in the online booking interface-- ex. all sessions between 7/5 and 7/15 are $10 off!

Add more customization for IBY and make it responsive.
Make the IBY site responsive, so it works easily on phones, tablets etc. Allow more customization in IBY and make it more intuitive, like other online shopping sites. Such as allow color selections, allowing a change the top bar that currently says "my account". Showing photos of products without having the rollover.

Enable the use of tokens in the subject line of HTML emails
We have scores of HTML emails that we send out for various reasons. Where appropriate, we use tokens in the body of the email to personalize the email. It would be great if we could do that for the email subject line, to encourage more opens and personalize the subject matter. " Thanks for your inquiry [[ Mary ]]"

A couple of extra custom fields
There is space in the Client - General tab for two more fields at the bottom of the middle column. If they were custom fields, it would allow a bit more space for those of us who need to keep a lot of repetitive data.

Online Scheduling - Have Categories for Session Types
Presently, the only way (at least from what I have been told) to organize the order session types appear online is through the session types table (by moving them up or down).
This creates unnecessary confusion for the end user, especially when the studio offers senior, baby, family and business executive sessions.
This can be partially resolved by adding a field for "category" for each session type. Then, once the category is assigned ("Seniors, "Babies", etc.), the session types coiuld be grouped on screen.
If you want to see how to handle this, take a look at Acuity's online appointment…

Create HTML and form letter merge tags for IBY login username and password
Allow IBY Username and Password to be variable data fields for emails.
15 votesThe clients InspiredByYou login data fields can not be setup as data fields since the clients can reset the password, and that reset password does not get updated in Spectra / myStratus.
The first time you upload a client Session to InspiredByYou, you can use the data fields you setup in Maintenance / Preferences / InspiredByYou Preferences – Company Tab – UserName and Password.
Example: If you set up the User name as Client Email, you would insert the Data Field Client – Email.

Create a tool to delete a group of time slots easily.
Would be great to be able to easily "close" a day and remove available time slots. For example, if you just created a whole Saturday's worth of session availability for Labor Day weekend, when your studio is closed.

Time slots -When one online time slot is scheduled, disable other Time slots in that same time frame
We offer several different session types, in a range of time frames. It would be helpful if, for example, once a session is booked for the 3:00-4:00 hour, all other time slots for that resource in that time frame could be disabled, instead of automatically allowing the conflict. The fact that this is not an option currently makes it impossible for us to allow two of our session types to be booked online.

implement a mobile credit card reading solution as soon as possible.
We would like to use a portable card reader that we can carry with us to events and use in different locations in the studio, eliminating the need to go to a workstation.

We have now completed the integration for both Genius Handheld and Genius Mini (Mobile) with the myStratus Desktop and Spectra software. In the coming months, we will also complete the integration of Genius Mini (Mobile) with the myStratus mobile app to give you a truly mobile credit card solution, not requiring the presence of myStratus Desktop.

Allow different price lists or segments for Online Booking
Much like price lists, can we segment the sessions that are available for online booking into categories? Meaning, on our Senior Portrait page I'd like to showcase all of our Senior portrait sessions, but not clutter the page with all of our family sessions and business portrait sessions and every other type of session we have. Ideally we can just feature Family portrait sessions on that page of our website in a separate iFrame.
One option would be to not have them appear at all. Another option would be to make the list of session types collapse, so it is…

Link Organization data to Online Booking
Can you link Organization data to the client who is logging in to online booking so that features or options specific to that organization are applied or available to a client? I believe we could accomplish a few things by doing so.
For example, adjusting time-slots based on the organization. When a client logs in, we know they belong to Central High School based on information already in the database... can the available time slots be limited to a specific week or set of days for that organization?
Incorporating Yearbook deadlines. Can the yearbook deadline for Central HS prompt the…
