The QR Code tool allows you to add a QR code to your template in various formats, including
Custom URL, IDpack Checkpoint, Linked Field, Wi-Fi QR Code, or vCard.
This feature provides flexibility in encoding different types of data for quick access via mobile scanning.
Position
The Position properties define the placement and dimensions of an element within the template.
Adjusting these values allows you to precisely control where an element appears and how much space it occupies.
- Left (X) – Specifies the horizontal position of the element, measured from the left edge of the template.
- Top (Y) – Specifies the vertical position of the element, measured from the top edge of the template.
- Width – Defines the width of the element, determining how much horizontal space it takes up.
- Height – Defines the height of the element, determining how much vertical space it occupies.
By adjusting these properties, you can ensure elements are properly aligned and scaled within your design.
Properties

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 – These can be enabled or disabled in the Project Manager:
- 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.

- 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.
