Project Manager – QR Code Setup

The QR Code Setup section in Project Manager provides configuration options for managing QR code functionality in your projects. This section allows you to define how QR codes will be encoded and used, enabling seamless integration with the IDpack Checkpoint app and other systems. Each QR code can be customized to serve specific purposes, making it a versatile tool for enhancing card functionality.

QR Code Type

Select the type of QR code to generate. Each type serves a different purpose:

• Custom URL

  Encodes any URL into the QR code. Supports dynamic data with a Linked Field to create personalized links.

  https://www.yourwebsite.com/
  https://orlikethis.org/
  https://example.com/?id=[linked_field]
  https://www.yourorganizationwebsite.com/?ref=[linked_field]

  The [linked_field] shortcode will be replaced with the selected database field in QR Code Field (e.g., ID #).

• IDpack Checkpoint App

  Creates QR codes compatible with the IDpack Checkpoint app, used for real-time card validation and access control.

  The IDpack Checkpoint app scans QR codes to validate cardholder information in real time, providing a secure way to verify card status, check-in attendees, and display relevant details.

  Available Display Options – Enable or disable specific record details:

  • Show Record Status – Shows whether the card is valid, revoked, or expired.
  • Show Photo ID – Shows the cardholder’s photo ID for visual verification.
  • Show Color Code – Displays the assigned color code for quick role identification.
  • Check-in System – Enables the check-in/check-out feature – Login Required (Automatically Activated).

  Show Badge Issuer Info – Enable or disable specific project and organization details:

  • Project Title – Displays the project title associated with the badge.
  • Organization Name – Shows the name of the issuing organization.
  • Organization Contact Phone – Displays the organization’s contact phone number.
  • Organization Location – Shows the address of the issuing organization.

  Fields to Show – Allows enabling or disabling specific fields based on the Fields Definition.

• Linked Field

  Allows you to encode a specific field from your database directly into the QR Code. This is useful for ID numbers, URLs, employee codes, or access credentials.

  In the Fields Definition, you can add the URL field, enabling each record to have a unique URL. For example, a real estate agent could have a personal URL, while an organization might use a corporate URL or a shortened link. Once you select this field as the Linked Field, the generated QR Code will automatically point to the corresponding URL for each record.

• Wi-Fi QR Code

  Encodes Wi-Fi network details, allowing users to connect by scanning the QR code. Ideal for hotels, restaurants, and Airbnb hosts.

  Use the Wi-Fi QR Code Card Template #122714 for optimized printing.

• vCard QR Code

  Encodes contact details in vCard format for quick scanning and saving to a smartphone.
