Process of capturing the QR code and relating to an item
- Locate the link / website address with the item / artwork. This is the item / artwork that the QR code will open on your website. Normally on the website available to the public.
- Website link example: www.theartistsbook.org.za/view.asp?pg=booknesses&pgsub=jgcat&pgsub1=books&pgsub2=0002. See image 1.
- Create the code: go to a QR code generator (see link toward the bottom of this page), select the URL option and paste the complete link - see the image 2 example.
- The QR code generator will create a code which you must save to your computer (see image 3 and heading Saving QR codes below). See image 3.
- In the CollectionOD, find the item / artwork you would like to make a QR code for.
- Select the Add a QR code button. See image 4.
- Complete the QR code form - see image 5. Note: you click the Browse button to locate the actual QR code image file. Click Add when you have completed the form.
- Test the QR code by going to the item / artwork, scrolling down to QR codes associated and testing with your phone. See image 6.
Print QR codes to labels
- To get your project going Logos Flow will assist in generating labels for your items / artworks that will be printed and displayed with the item / artwork. These printed labels with include the documentation your require and the actual code - plus, any customisation you require such as logo, specific fonts and sizes, etc. See image 7 for some basic examples.
- Individual QR code labels can also be generated directly via the CollectionOD.
- The visitor then scans the code and open the website with all the information and image associated with the item / artwork.
Saving QR codes
- You will be saving a lot of QR codes that will relate to an item / artwork. Rather store these codes in a seperate folder on your computer, or network, that is only used for these files.
- A QR code is actually an image file that contains the code, normally in a PNG format.
- Suggestion: save the image code with the unique reference ID as the file name, i.e. 1234.png
