Introduction

This checklist is required for the SwitchBase Installation Team — the folks who are there to help you and your venue build everything to your specifications.

We are placing the Public Link information here because you may be interested in using them at your venue. You'll now know what to ask for and will understand how things work 'under-the-hood'.

Shortcuts are the gateway to anonomous Public Links that enable targeted Forms to be shared through multiple distribution channels → ex. SMS, QR codes, NFC, social media, and more.

To make a Public Link work you need 3 things:

  • A. Shortcut Form as your target
  • B. Short Code for each organization that is using Public Links
  • C. The Public Link itself, which can be copied and used in multiple distributions → ex. SMS, QR codes, NFC, and social media, and more.
