Testing your QR codes
Test your Bloomberg Connects QR codes so you can feel confident that your signs and printed collateral send people to the right content.
Note: The URL associated with your QR code must be exactly the same as the URL generated by the CMS. The URLs should look like this: links.bloombergconnects.org/6Ggw/uq8ice8x. If your code redirects to a different domain (e.g., [company.com]/links.bloombergconnects.org...), it will not work.
Before launch
Before your guide launches, you can log in to the Connects app's internal mode to access your draft and confirm that your QR codes open the right content.
Steps:
- In the CMS, download your lookup QR codes and promotional QR code.
- In the app, log in to internal mode.
- Scan a QR code.
- Your content appears.
After launch
After your guide launches, you can save content as a draft to work on updates that you aren't ready to publish. You can confirm that QR codes take you to the right content, even if that content is saved as a draft.
Steps:
- In the CMS, download your lookup QR codes.
- In the app, log in to internal mode.
-
On the app's Explore screen, below your organization image and name, select the internal preview.
- Scan a QR code.
- Your draft content appears.
- When you're ready to expose the content to visitors, publish it.
