QRPassport is a companion application that works in tandem with your subscription to QR Tools in your Shiftboard account. If you do not already have QR Tools enabled for your account, please contact your account manager prior to downloading and attempting to use this application. This application requires a Shiftboard account and provides no functionality without first tying it to your existing Shiftboard account. With Shiftboard QR Tools your workers can clock-in and clock-out using their QR code. You can also view device activity locally on your device in the Activity Log. QRPassport works with a single site a time but will retain configurations and logs for multiple sites separately allowing you to switch between your day job and your weekend volunteer work without losing any data. This application allows you to choose between kiosk mode with the front camera and hand-held mode with the rear camera.
