Dynamically Assigning Overlays and Backgrounds

What is it?

Overlays, Backgrounds and some Interface Screens can be dynamically assigned by using the Filename Suffix feature. Filename Suffixes allows for dynamic selection based on certain criteria, enhancing customization and variety in generated content. Suffixes can include tokens for dynamic selection, such as date and time or random numbers. They are frequently used alongside Survey Screens to allow for highly customised user selections.

How it Works

A print layout would typically use the file overlay.png to add the design to the layout. By using Filename Suffixes and a Random Token, you could have 3 different overlay options which are randomly applied each time a session is run. The required files might look like this:

• overlay_option_1.png
• overlay_option_2.png
• overlay_option_3.png

In this case you would set the Filename Suffix to:

option_{random,1,3}

Each time the session is run, Breeze Booth will look for the matching overlay file name, based on the random number it assigned.

Adding a Suffix

Suffixes can be added in the respective Suffix section for Photos, Burst GIF's and Videos.
