⚠️ Data capture is only available on the Pro and Select plans and must be enabled before use.

Simple Booth cannot share participant information after your event if the feature was accidentally disabled. ⚠️


Enabling Data Capture

Turn on data capture in your HALO app from the Preset Settings menu.

  • Pro-tier fields can also be enabled in-app or from your online dashboard.

  • Select-tier fields must be enabled online through your account.


Pro Tier Fields

Six standard fields are available and include:

  • Email address

  • First name

  • Last name

  • Phone number

  • Postal code

  • Date of birth

Select Tier Fields

Select plan accounts can add up to 10 custom fields:

  • Text Fields – Allow participants to type in a response.

  • Checkboxes – Let participants check a box (or not) to answer.

  • Required Checkboxes – Must be checked for form submission.

    📍 If this box is left unchecked, the form won't submit. At that point, the participant can choose to check the box and submit the form, or abandon the session.

  • Custom Legal Terms - Add your own Terms of Service or Privacy Policy directly to the data capture form.


Optional vs. Required Data Collection

Optional

To let participants skip the form, enable one or more sharing options in the Send Options panel.

💡 This allows them to receive their photo without submitting personal information.

Required

Disable all send options to make data capture mandatory.

Participants will need to complete the form to receive their photo via text or email.


Accessing Collected Data

Collected data appears in your Analytics dashboard. You can download it as a CSV file.

📍 The CSV download link is located about halfway down the page, on the left-hand side.
