Setting Up Quick Response (QR) Codes

Concept

Generating QR codes for your PastPerfect Online records will allow any visitor with a mobile device to scan your code and be taken directly to your PastPerfect Online webpage dedicated to that artifact. QR codes can be used to enrich gallery exhibits or create mini-exhibits at off-site locations like local libraries, schools or parks. QR codes allow visitors to view items in your collection quickly and easily, even while on the go. There are two ways to generate QR codes: using an online generator tool or using PastPerfect's built-in tool. This topic will discuss setting up PastPerfect's built-in tool.
