While desks can be equipped with GoBright Connect or Interact devices, you can also use an NFC/QR sticker that can be placed on virtually any surface. This provides greater flexibility, as it allows users to check in to desks in locations where installing a physical Connect or Interact device is not possible.
To use an NFC/QR sticker, the following requirements must be met:
- The desk must be configured in the GoBright system.
- The NFC/QR ID of the sticker must be known, or
- The GoBright App must be installed on a smartphone with NFC or QR support. This includes all regular Android phones and Apple iPhone 7 or later.
To ensure compatibility with a wide range of phones, NTAG213-based NFC stickers are recommended. For optimal scanning, larger NFC stickers with a diameter of 30–38 mm are also recommended.
The quickest way to add an NFC/QR sticker is by using the GoBright app. The steps are outlined below:
- Press the Menu button on the home screen in the top-right-corner
- Select Admin tools from the menu
- Select 'NFC/QR stickers'
- Press the 'Add NFC/QR sticker' button in the bottom
- Choose 'Scan address by NFC/QR'
- Scan the sticker
- Select the correct Room or Desk
- Press 'Save'
The NFC/QR sticker has now been successfully added to GoBright.
If you're using the GoBright portal to add a new NFC/QR sticker, make sure that the ID of the sticker is known. You can obtain this by using any NFC/QR scanner and scan the sticker.
- Login to the GoBright portal with a manager account
- Go to Settings > Devices > Sensors
- Press the 'Add'-button in the top right corner to add a new sensor
- Select the desk that needs to be linked to the specific sticker
- In the drop-down menu, select 'NFC/QR sticker'
- Enter the ID of the NFC/QR Sticker and press Save
The NFC/QR sticker has now been successfully added to GoBright.
