Use QR Code Scanning to Open a New Form Record

QR Codes can be used to open a new form directly in the Lucidity App.

To open a form this way:

  1. Scan the QR code (this can be located on a noticeboard for example)

  2. Log into the App

  3. The requested form will be opened and can be filled out following the normal process (outlined below)

Each form template in Lucidity has a URL or link that will never change, and can be used to commence a new form. To obtain the link and convert to a QR code, follow the steps below.

  1. Navigate to the required form within InForm by:

    1. Open InForm


    2. Using the left hand menu, select the required form.  This will filter the form records to only show records for the selected form.


  2. Click 'Add New'


  3. Copy the URL from the address bar in the browser.


  4. Use a third party tool to generate the QR Code from this link.  An online QR Code Generator can be found here

The link can also be used in emails and on websites (without the QR code) as an easy way to commence a form. As an example, the link can be included in Management System pages or on the Dashboard Links panel within Lucidity Intranet.

 The link for each form template will always point to the current version of the form.
