Main Workflow vs. Shot-Type Workflows

Booth Junkie runs one workflow at a time, in sequence: the shared “Main” sequence runs first, and once its Selection step captures a guest’s choice, the booth switches over to that shot type’s own workflow (Singleshot, Multishot, or Strip Print) for the rest of the session.

How they fit together

Main Workflow is the outer loop – it’s what’s running before anyone’s picked a shot type, and what the booth returns to once a session finishes. When a guest picks a shot type at Selection, the booth switches to that shot type’s own workflow (Singleshot, Multishot, or Strip Print) for the rest of their session. Once that inner workflow reaches its End step, the booth loads Main Workflow again, ready for the next guest.

Editing a workflow

Each of the 4 tabs (Admin Panel -> Workflows -> Main/Singleshot/Multishot/Strip Print Workflow) uses the same editor: a fixed list of rows, each with a Type dropdown (Function, Photo, Selection, Draw, Preview, Print, Animation, Live View, Render Video, End) plus whatever File/Action/Parameter fields that type needs. There’s no explicit “add row” or “delete row” – set a blank row’s Type to add a step, and set it back to blank (“None”) to remove one. Drag a row’s handle to reorder it; everything renumbers to match.

No safety checks

Nothing stops you from saving a workflow that doesn’t make sense – a Photo step with no Selection before it, or no End step at all. There’s no validation before saving, so it’s worth manually checking your sequence makes sense rather than assuming the app will catch a mistake.
