The Advanced tab of the amenity edit drawer gives you a QR code residents can scan on-site, a check-in toggle, and a display-mode screen for shared spaces.

Who can use it: Requires amenities_update.

1. Open the Advanced tab

Open the amenity's edit drawer and click Advanced.

The Advanced tab:

Advanced

Enable Display ModeOff

2. Generate the QR code

Click to generate the amenity's QR code. The code is a deep link that lands on /amenity/[id], which opens the resident app directly to that amenity. If the resident doesn't have the app installed, they're sent to the app store after a short delay.

QR code block:

4. Enable Display Mode
