Each exhibit's QR code opens that exhibit's page in your guide. Put it at the exhibit itself, where visitors stop to look.

Steps

1. 1

   In the sidebar, under Content, click Discovery.

   

2. 2

   Under Most scanned exhibits, see which signs visitors use most. An exhibit missing from the list may need its sign moving.

   

Good places

• At the exhibit, beside the tank or enclosure, so the page matches what visitors are looking at.
• Where people pause, such as by a viewing window or a bench, rather than in a doorway where they keep walking.
• At a comfortable height for adults and children, in good light, and away from glare on glass or shiny laminate.
• Somewhere with phone signal or your Wi-Fi. The guide needs a connection to open.

Why the exhibit's own sign matters

• Animals, films and quizzes only count towards a visitor's Discovery progress after they've scanned that exhibit's code on the same day. One code per exhibit is enough for this.
• An animal's own code opens its fact file and also counts as scanning its exhibit. Use these where you want to point to one animal.

Good to know

• If an exhibit is hidden or under maintenance, its code still works and shows visitors a friendly notice, so you can leave the sign up.
• If an exhibit closes for good, take its signs down. Its code then shows “We can't find that exhibit”.
