Creating a QR Code

Create your own 2 – dimensional barcode and display it in your yearbook to share videos, websites, advertisements, etc. Share anything and everything you have published onto the internet conveniently.  When you scan the code, the event can load in your preferred app. This can be done directly from EDOnline page designer and placed onto your page immediately.

 Follow these easy steps to create your QR Codes:

Open the EDO page designer. For instructions on how to do that, click here.

Once you are on the page that you would like to place your QR code, click the QR code button under “Insert Items” on the left side of the page.

Under QR Code Type, you have 3 options: Select video, Select LINK Page, Select custom URL.

Select Video will provide you with a selection of any video that you have uploaded to your account using the upload other content feature of our website.
Select LINK page will let you choose from any LINK pages your have set up. Click here to learn more about setting up a LINK page
Select custom URL allows you to enter any URL you would like the QR code to go to, for example your schools website. Once you have entered the URL, hit the enter key on your keyboard

You can edit the background color and bar colors in the QR code, and change the scale. The scale of the QR code is default set to 100, you can make it bigger if you would like. We don’t suggest making it much smaller than 100. The status of the QR code is set to “Active” by default. If you would like to change this status to void or expired you can, this is helpful if you would like to make the QR code unusable when you re-print books. You can also set an expiration date for a QR code, but it is not required.

Once you have edited your QR code, you can click the green “Generate QR Code” to build your QR code.

The QR code will generate in the upper left hand corner of your left or right page.

If you would like to make edits to your QR code after you build it, click on the QR code, then select the QR code tab from the right menus. Note, this menu will only appear if you have the QR code selected

Once all boxes are filled out, click on the “Apply”
