NFC signs allow students to check in using the Edusign app, either with an NFC chip or, if necessary, the QR code printed on the sign. Each sign corresponds to a room in the facility.

3️⃣ Use the QR code
1️⃣ Understanding the NFC tag
An NFC tag is associated with a room. When a student checks in using NFC, the scanned badge must match the session room.
You can also sign using the QR code printed on the sign. This method checks the phone's location against the location configured for the sign.
2️⃣ Assign a sign to a room
Start by checking to see if the room for your session exists in Edusign. Next, open Settings > NFC, select the sign, and associate it with the corresponding room. To manage rooms, open Settings > Locations.
In the NFC list, select a sign to change its room and location. You can also set the Maximum Distance (meters) and Access Hours.
Good to know: Multiple signs can be associated with the same room.
Can't find the sign you're looking for? Make sure you're viewing the correct institution account. The list shows the signs associated with this account. If a sign you ordered does not appear there, contact support and provide its ID.
3️⃣ Use the QR code
QR code validation uses the phone's location and compares its distance to the distance recorded for the sign. Verify that the sign has a location configured and that the phone can transmit its location. NFC chip-based signatures do not require this GPS verification.
