Artilio™A link per class: volume and school photography
Shoot a whole school in one gallery, create a chapter per class, and bulk-generate one unique link per class, without touching a spreadsheet.
Volume photography, schools, sports clubs, nurseries, corporate headshot days, involves the same workflow repeated dozens or hundreds of times. One gallery, many classes. One class, many students. Many parents, each needing to see only their own child.
Artilio is designed for this. The structure maps directly to chapters and sub-chapters.
The gallery structure¶
- One gallery for the whole school.
- One chapter per class (3A, 3B, 4A, 4B...).
- Optional sub-chapters within each chapter, one per student.

Bulk-generating links¶
Instead of creating a link for each class by hand, Artilio's bulk link generator creates one unique secret link per chapter in a single step.
- Open the gallery Share tab.
- Click "Generate per-chapter links".
- Each chapter gets its own secret link. The link for Class 3A only shows the 3A chapter.
- Download the link list as a CSV or copy individual links.
- Send each class teacher their class link. They distribute it to parents.
Per-student links¶
If you photograph individual students and want each parent to see only their own child, use sub-chapters. Create a sub-chapter per student inside each class chapter. Then bulk-generate per-sub-chapter links.
Result: each parent's link opens the school gallery and shows only their child's photos. No other student is visible. Nothing else to configure.
Access settings for volume work¶
- Set "view only" on the bulk links, parents browse but do not download without ordering prints.
- Enable ratings so parents can heart their favourite shots. This doubles as your print order demand signal.
- Set an expiry on the bulk links, for example 30 days from the shoot date. After that, parents who want photos must order through your storefront.
Using the AI assistant for this workflow¶
You can also set this up by talking to the Artilio AI assistant:
"For the SP nr 5 school gallery, generate a unique access link for each class, each link should only see its own chapter."
The assistant creates the links, scopes each to the right chapter, and returns the full list. No form-clicking. See The AI assistant to learn more.
