A static QR code is a permanent code you print and hang where visitors arrive, so they sign in on their own phone instead of a shared tablet. Static QR codes do not expire, which is what makes them worth printing: the same sheet on the wall at the back entrance keeps working.
Create a static QR code
-
Open the Vizito backoffice and select “Account settings” > “General” in the left menu.
-
Under “Global settings”, find the “Static QR codes” row and click “Edit”.
-
Click “Add QR code” at the bottom of the “Static QR code configuration” window.
-
Type a “Description”. It is the name the code is listed under, so name it after the door it will hang on. The “Entry point” and “Print to” dropdowns on the same form are optional and can be set later.
-
Click “Save”. Your new code appears in the “Static QR code configuration” list.
Save the code as an image
-
Click “Edit” next to your code in the “Static QR code configuration” list.
-
Right click on the QR code in the “QR code” window and select “Save as” to store the image for printing.
What else you can set on a code
The “QR code” window holds three settings besides the description. All three can be left empty.
- “Entry point” records which entrance a visitor signed in at, so a sign-in through this code is logged against the door it hangs on. See Entry points.
- “Print to” selects the device that prints the visitor badge. See Badges.
- “Visit types” limits the code to the visit types you select, so a code at the loading bay can offer fewer choices than the one at reception.
“QR code sign in”, the toggle just above “Static QR codes” in “Global settings”, is a different feature. It lets a registered visitor scan the personal QR code from their invitation at the kiosk. See QR-code signin.
