QR Code

You can easily and quickly Generate, Download, and Share QR codes for your Dropthought Programs. QR codes are two-dimensional barcodes. You can generate QR codes specific to one program or have multiple QR codes and connect to the program as required while using Dropthought.

This article will help you understand:

1. What are the various types of QR codes available?

2. How do you enable QR codes as a distribution channel for your Dropthought account?

3. What are the various ways to configure QR codes for a program?

4. How do you send out programs via QR Code using dropthought?

The following types of QR codes are available on Dropthought to distribute a program:

One QR code

A static QR code allows you to generate one QR code to collect responses for the program. It will be unique to the program.

Multiple QR code

Scenario: 

You are an HR manager responsible for conducting a quarterly employee experience survey across various office locations. 

Creating separate surveys for each geography can be tedious. How can you gather responses and segregate the responses received from each geography?

Dropthought’s Multiple QR Code allows you to collect responses using one or more QR codes tagged to a program (survey).

When gathering responses from multiple locations, use Multiple QR codes to distinguish between the received responses.

You can use either of the methods within Multiple QR codes:

1. Generate multiple static QR codes: The QR code generated in this case will be static, and the program associated cannot be changed.

2. Multiple Dynamic QRs from Dynamic Collectors: The QR code generated can be associated with any program. As the name suggests, they are dynamic in nature. You can manage the program from the platform.
