How to Display a QR Code in a Report
Description
You can generate and display QR codes in reports using a variety of methods.
Creating QR Codes using Calculated Fields
Calculated fields can be used to generate and display QR Codes in a Freeform report.
Under the Report menu, select Calculated fields...
Create a new calculated field using the printQRCode function. The printQRCode function generates a QR Code for a specified character value. For example, the code below generates a QR Code for the "Contactname" field that is 300 x 300 pixels in size and stores it in a calculated field called "qrcode":
qrcode = printQRCode(Contactname,300)
Insert your calculated field into your report. Make sure to size the field large enough to fit the generated QR Code.
