Managing the Quick Response Codes
This chapter describes how to generate and download the Quick Response (QR) codes, which allow users to quickly check in to and check out from a workspace using mobile devices.
About the QR Codes
A QR code is a matrix barcode or a two-dimensional code that is readable by the QR scanners, mobile phones with a camera, and smartphones. By scanning these QR codes available at the workspaces, end users can quickly check in to and check out from a workspace.
You can generate the QR codes by selecting the specific locations or location types in the location hierarchy, which defines a tree structure of the parent locations and their respective child locations. In addition, you can download or print the QR codes.
You can generate the QR codes for the following location types in the location hierarchy:
- Building—Generates the QR codes for all of the workspaces in the selected building
- Floor—Generates the QR codes for all of the workspaces on the selected floor
- Workspace—Generates the QR code for the selected workspace
For example, you can generate the QR codes for the building, floor, cubicle, and office locations in the location hierarchy.
Generating the QR Codes
To generate the QR codes, perform the following steps:
Step 1 In the home page of the Smart+Connected Spaces portal for managing workspaces, choose Admin > QRCode Generator.
The left pane displays the location hierarchy.
Step 2 In the location hierarchy, click one of the following location types for which you want to generate the QR code:
- Building—To generate the QR codes for all of the workspaces of the selected building
- Floor—To generate the QR codes for all workspaces on the selected floor
- Workspace—To generate the QR code for the selected workspace
The Generate QR Code button appears in the right pane.
Step 3 Click Generate QR Code.
The specific QR codes are created and displayed in the right pane. The Download QR Code button also appears.
