Use case of QR Code on Confluence

Displaying a QR Code will give you instant access to information about the product or service. With a QR code you register for events, direct customers websites, etc. all with their smartphones. Now you can display a QR Code on a Confluence page with the following apps.

These are the following apps (for Confluence Cloud) to create QR Codes on pages.

Here we will show you how to use the QR Code creation feature of Excel-like Tables for Confluence to create an information page.

One of the functions of Excel-like spreadsheets is to create barcodes.

Since we have a spreadsheet, let's separate the site management sheet and the QR Code display sheet.

Here is the site management sheet.

Here is the information sheet with QR Code.

We refer to the URL cell on the site management sheet through the barcode creation function. The string to be encoded could also include the results of spreadsheet calculations.

=BC_QRCODE(site!A1,"#000","#FFF","L",2,"auto","auto",FALSE,0,,"UTF-8",,,,)

Remove spreadsheet decorations to make the table easier to view.

Of course, you can also print and distribute it.

There are many other possible uses for QR codes

  • Equipment management

  • Inventory management

    • Product listings and barcodes

  • Guidance to user manuals on the Confluence page

    • Attach printed QR Code to equipment
