What options can I generally set for QR Codes in my account?

Easily share content, track GPS locations of your scans, set up a password protection, directly download or delete a QR Code when it's no longer needed. In this article, we’ll give you a quick overview of the most useful and generally available features you’ll find when creating or managing your QR Codes — so you can get even more out of every scan.

To view either an overview of your QR Codes or of your Landing Pages, click the appropriate button in the left-hand Main Navigation Menu.

Choose the QR Code you want to check and hit the Options button, located below the QR Code's Vanity URL. These options only apply to this single QR Code.

For the whole bulk of mass-generated QR Codes, some options can be set with one click instead of having to go through each Code, as described here.

As a White Label Administrator you can set permissions for your users, determining which options they may use or not. 

Let's go through all QR Code options generally available to users. 

Hit Download to directly access the Download Tab for this QR Code, without going through the QR Design Tool. Just choose the desired file format and get your QR Code as-is.

If you want to create or apply a design your QR Code before downloading it, click Design QR. The QR Design Tool will open.

For Designer QR Codes, we generally suggest using Vector Formats with an SVG logo.

View the agglomerated data collected for your QR Codes by clicking the Statistics button in a QR Code's Option Tab. 

To edit a QR Code's target URL(s), files, or Landing Page, click Edit in the QR Code's or Landing Page's Options Tab. What exactly and how it can be changed (and how the Edit button looks) depends on the QR Code Type.

You can tag your QR Codes to better keep track of their use or the specific campaign they belong to by hitting Tag. You can also filter your QR Codes for a given tag, or view summarized statistics for all QR Codes tagged with it.

Assigned tags have no bearing on the QR Code or its functionality.

Always wanted be more social but don't want to talk to people? Just share your Short URLs with your friends, followers or fans on Social Media or via other channels! Click Share to access the Sharing Pane.

If applicable, a referrer will be added to the URL in order to track in the statistics, via which specific shared link a user accessed it.

You own a QR Code you neither use nor need its statistics any longer to be accessible in your account (for example because you downloaded them)? Delete unused QR Codes to free slots for new QR Codes in your account.

Remember: Deleting a QR Code also deletes its collected tracking data. Save your statistics locally before deleting if you want to keep them.

Click Reset to set all statistics and tracking data back to 0 for this QR Code.

If you want to know where your QR Code has been scanned, you can activate GPS tracking. For more information on this feature, please read this article.

If your QR Code will be displayed at a fixed location, you can add the GPS data or address to your QR Code by using Edit Location. This has no bearing on the QR Code or its functionality.

Have a notification E-Mail sent whenever this QR Code is scanned. You can choose where the notification should go and have to confirm the E-Mail address in question for the notifications to work.

For more information on scan notifications, please read this article.

Forgot to create the folder you want a QR Code to be in before creating the QR Code? No problem! Just use Move to folder and everything will be as desired.

Deactivate the URL Monitor if you don't want to be informed if your target URL is unavailable. For more information, please read this article.

The URL monitor can be generally deactivated in your account options.

Set a value for the medium you plan to use a certain QR Code on. This is only for your internal organization and has no bearing on the QR Code or its functionality.

You can password-protect your QR Codes. To do so, click Password in your QR Code's options. Once set, the QR Code will only forward to the target URL after the defined password has been entered.

There are no password requirements for QR Code passwords.

You may duplicate any QR Code in your list by clicking Duplicate. A copy with a random Vanity-URL and without any designs applied will appear.

Have an old, now unscanned MP3 QR Code (after the billionth scan, everyone just has the song!) that is still in circulation? Change its type by using Change Type in your QR Code's options, and use it as you see fit; don't let all your valuable printed QR Codes go to waste!

Remember: Some types of QR Codes might not be eligible for your account (e.g. Geo-Fencing or Multi-Country QR Codes). Please contact your administrator if you are missing any QR Codes types you need.
