The RX Mobile App v2 or later has a built-in QR code scanner, this can be used to perform certain actions, such as Search and Check-In.
This feature is available only on RX Mobile App v2 or later. For assistance in configuring QR Codes please contact our support team at helpdesk@qedas.com.
The Mobile App uses JSON data to determine a defined action, a QR Code containing this JSON data can be scanned using the RX Mobile App.
All the examples below are written in JSON, basic knowledge of JSON is not required, however, it may be useful. Check out this w3school page on What is JSON.

QR Code Generator
To generate a QR code you will need to use a 3rd Party QR Code Generator, there are many free options available.
In this guide, I will be using https://www.qr-code-generator.com/
Ensure that the QR code generator is set to use TEXT input.
Once the QR Code has been generated, it can be downloaded and used as needed.
Check-In QR Codes
To use QR Codes to allow check-in you will first need to enable this setting. This can be found under the Interactive Tab for either System Settings, Location-based Settings or on a per profile basis with Profile Settings.
Check out our guide that covers the Check-In Options.
https://resourcexpress.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RSG/pages/133431319/Interactive+Tab#Check-in-Options
Use the below value to create a Check-In QR Code.
{
"resourcename": "Huddle 01",
"checkinresourceid":1
}You will need to update the ID value (1) with the ID for your profile.
The QR Code will be displayed on the right, you can now download this image to be used where required.
