With that information, you can go to http://onlineyearbooks.lifetouch.com to access the Online Yearbooks website. When you login for the first time, you will be asked to go through a few initial set-up steps, then you will be directed to the Home page. SECURITY STATEMENT Lifetouch takes very seriously the security of a school’s information and images that are used in our online yearbook programs. Access to this website is limited to the Yearbook Adviser and individuals authorized by the Yearbook Adviser (“Users”). The Yearbook Adviser has complete control over which Users may access the website and which areas of the website a User can access. You will be asked to accept the security information on the use of the Online Yearbooks website and the Internet. Users are required to enter a Job Number, User Name, and a Password before information and images can be accessed. Users must protect the Job Number, User Name and Password from disclosure. While Lifetouch has implemented a number of security features to protect the safety of information and images, ultimately, the security of the website is in the hands of the Yearbook Adviser and other Users who access the website. Lifetouch cannot guarantee that the school’s information and images on the website will be free from intervention or electronic intrusion. For example, if a User is careless with the User Name and Password assigned, some of these security measures are less effective. By accessing this website, you agree to participate in security efforts by controlling passwords, using the website only to create your school’s yearbook pages and limiting access to only authorized Users. If you have been authorized by the School to access this website, acknowledge the importance of these security measures and agree to comply with them, please select the “Accept” button below and then click “Next” to begin working with your school’s information and images. If not, please click “Decline” and exit this website.

HOME SALES TRACKER & RESOURCES The Sales Tracker & Resources tab allows you to access: Sales Tracker Smart Selling Resources Sales Materials SALES TRACKER Sales Tracker is a tool for you to track book sales, manage your personalized covers, and other details related to your final book order. Once portraits have been uploaded all student names will be available on Sales Tracker. If sales have already been entered, you will need to review the list for duplicates. Sales Tracker is organized into three sections: Student Information allows you to sort the name list by Grade, Homeroom, or Teacher ID from the drop-down menus. Order Information indicates if the order was received. When an order is placed and it is paid in full, this column will say Yes. If an order is not placed or if there is a balance due, this column will say no. This area also includes an overview of the quantities ordered by each student for Standard Yearbooks and any enhancements you are contracted for (e.g. Zoom, autograph inserts & pens). Payment Details indicates the Total Due, if a Discount applies, the total amount of the Payments Received and the Balance Due. HOW TO: GET STARTED USING SALES TRACKER 1. Set the prices of your book, the available options, and early payment discounts. 2. Check the list for duplicates that might appear if names were entered before the portraits were uploaded. If duplicates appear, be sure to only complete order information for one of the records. 3. Start recording orders; which will then automatically be included in Total Yearbook Orders and Total Payments to date. 14 Home Lifetouch Online Yearbooks Guide

BOOK SETTINGS BOOK SETTINGS Book Settings lets you select default preferences to maintain consistency and save time. You can pick defaults for portraits, fonts, styles, backgrounds and more. Book Settings is also where your Color & Deadline Assignment page is located.

FYI: ASSIGN DEADLINES WebEase users must assign deadlines to each signature (they will either be in the 1st or 2nd deadline) before you begin creating pages.
