QR Code

What is QR Code?

A QR Code (abbreviated from Quick Response code) is a two-dimensional barcode that is readable by smartphones. A barcode is a machine-readable optical label that contains information about the item to which it is attached. QR Codes may be used to display text to the user, to open a URL, save contact to the address book or to compose text messages.

A QR code consists of black squares arranged in a square grid on a white background which can be ready by the smartphone, you need appropriate software installed on your phone. For Android-based devices, you can use Barcode Scanner . On iOS-Devices like iPhones there are also QR Code readers available on the AppStore. On Firefox OS try QR Code Scanner. On Symbian devices, you can use Mobiletag barcodes reader for example.

How can a custodian use QR Code tag?

A custodian can put a QR code tag in the document along with other custodian tags like signature, timestamp etc. and put in Key label and Key Value pairs in the QR code values as shown in the below snippet. QR code tag is only for the custodian, signer cannot drop this tag on the document.

Note: Custodian can only drop one QR code tag in one document. Custodian will get an error message “Sorry you can drop only one QR Code tag per document” if he drops more than one QR code tag in one document.

About Key Information

Key Information is the set of multiple key labels and key values which is saved by the custodian while creating an ePak. Custodian will enter some key value information at time of creation of ePak. This info will be stored in the database and will be fetched after the validation of QR code.

How we can add the Key Information for QR Code.

While composing an ePak custodian can see the QR Code box at the right side of the window as shown below and after entering the Key Label and Values he can click on the save button to save it.

Custodian can add up to 5 key pair information in one QR code for the verification of the ePak.

How can I edit the Key Information?

Custodian can click on the Edit button under the Actions to edit the Label and the value.

How can I delete the Key Information?

Custodian can click on the delete button under the Actions to delete the information.

Note: Once the epak is created and sent for the signature then we cannot edit and delete the Key Information. It can only be edited and deleted while composing an ePak.

Scanning QR Code

Once the ePak is created and sent for the signature then we can scan the QR code for the verification. Scan the QR code from your device and it will redirect you to the MSB page wherein epak was originally got processed, which will show you the message that “Verification was successful” and you need to click on the Continue button to see the key information that was entered by the custodian while creating the ePak.
