How to redirect sub-codes to different forms, external links, or dynamic QR codes?

Original article: https://cli.im/article/detail/2185

Bulk templates support adding variable links to enable sub-code redirection to different forms, external links, sub-codes, dynamic QR codes, or directory summary codes. When generating sub-codes, simply input content according to specified rules to redirect to corresponding addresses.

This feature supports applications in product promotion, equipment inspection, plant/tree labeling, and other scenarios. For example:

• In equipment inspection scenarios: Different equipment sub-codes can redirect to distinct inspection forms.
• In product introduction scenarios: Sub-codes for different products can redirect to external product detail pages.

1. Application Scenarios

1.1 Sub-code redirection to different forms

By adding variable link content in bulk templates, each sub-code can redirect to different forms by specifying unique form IDs. This ensures consistent code structure while enabling flexible form access.

Typical use cases:

• Equipment inspection: Critical or special equipment requiring redirection to different inspection/maintenance forms.
• Area inspection: Consistent code format for different areas (e.g., pump rooms, control rooms) with varying inspection requirements.
• Vehicle inspection: Different vehicle types needing separate inspection/maintenance forms.
• Production process tracking: Products with identical information formats but different process records requiring associated forms.

1.2 Sub-code redirection to external links

Sub-codes can redirect to external URLs for displaying product details, event information, or supplementary content.

Typical use cases:

• Plant/tree labels: Redirecting to Baidu Encyclopedia entries for specific plant species.
• Building materials: Displaying 3D previews or product videos to enhance customer perception.
• Product traceability: Linking to specific traceability query pages.
• Travel itineraries: Redirecting to detailed itinerary pages or booking platforms.

1.3 Redirection to dynamic QR codes

Sub-codes can redirect to single codes, directory summary codes, or sub-codes from other bulk templates. Export sub-code data from one template and import it into another template for quick implementation.

Typical use cases:

• Equipment management: Linking to dynamic QR codes for manuals or certification documents.
• Product catalogs: Adding quick access to related product summary pages.
• Staff profiles: Connecting to training/assessment records from other templates.
• Marketing campaigns: Redirecting to different sales representative QR codes.

2. Configuration Guide

2.1 Add variable link content in bulk templates

In the templates editor:

1. Add a redirect link style
2. Incorporate variable links

2.2 Input content according to rules during generation

When generating codes:

• Input HTTP-based external links
• OR input sub-code/form IDs
  to enable precise redirection.
