# QR codes line_style

# General

In this article you will learn to provide digital content (e.g. flyers in PDF format) via QR codes (so-called resources) using Tweet-Point. You will also learn how to link such a resource to an event.

You can access the resource management via the menu item line_style Resources. There you will see an overview of all defined resources as well as some filter and sort options.

A resource always points to an external reference (e.g. a link to a brochure in PDF format via a unique URL). This reference is free selectable by you. In addition, you can set a validity period for a resource.

Notes:

In case of an invalid or expired resource, your guests will be shown an error page when retrieving the respective resource.

Resources provided by Tweet-Point always point to an address of the following form: https://qrtp.de/to/<ID>. When a resource is retrieved, Tweet-Point automatically redirects the requestor to the target reference set. Each retrieval of a resource is recorded by Tweet-Point, so that you can collect and retrieve corresponding retrieval statistics from the overview page of the resource. page of the respective resource.

# Create a resource

You can add a new resource by clicking on the + button in the bottom right corner. Then the following view opens:

For each resource you need to specify the following:

  1. edit reference, the reference to the material you want to provide via URL,
  2. edit description, for you or your colleagues to quickly understand,
  3. edit location, where the QR code will be placed,
  4. calendar_today validity period, i.e. from or until when the resource should be retrievable,
  5. a language which matches the material of this resource,
  6. edit ordinal number, to specify an order,
  7. edit background color as well as a foreground color of the QR code to be generated.

Additionally, you have the option to specify whether a transparent background should be used. This can be advantageous if you want to digitally process the generated QR code for other purposes.

Alternatively you can directly assign an image medium (of an existing QR code). Please note the information about the supported formats for media files.

Tip:

The description or location is for your reference only. This will not be displayed on a layout.

Tip:

  • If you don't upload an image or QR code via SELECT, a QR code will be generated automatically when you save the resource. You can download this or (later) assign it to an event.
  • The file size of the image must not exceed the displayed default (in MB) for the project.

The SAVE button adds the resource to your project. The button will be active only after all the required information has been entered.
