Terminology
This is a list of some specific terms used in the dashboard.
Element representing a QR code.
It’s characterized by various properties as a description, a key, a redirect URL, etc.
A short word (or sequence of characters) used by the plugin to distinguish the various QR-Codes from each other or to group some ones in a combination.
It uniquely identifies a QR-Code when keys are allowed to be the same for different QR-Codes (combination).
In practice, it can be useful for statistical purposes to distinguish the different redirects (based on the conditions set) that users have undergone by scanning a QR code.
Precedence over other QR-Codes with the same key. In the case of equivalent situations (determined by the conditions set), the user is redirected to the URL of the priority QR-Code.
Automatically generated URL to be embedded in the QR code image.
Technically speaking, it’s a call to the WordPress API, and should not be confused with the redirect URL, which is the URL users are redirected to after the scan.
State of a QR code scan response as logged in the database.
Possible values are:
- active: the QR-Code was enabled to work properly
- disabled: the QR-Code scan was not enabled
- error: a problem occurred
- expired: the scan took place after the activation date/time
- finished: the scan occurred after reaching the maximum allowed number of scans for the QR-Code
- inactive: the scan took place before the activation date/time
