Custom links let a QR code send people to a specific web destination without uploading that content into Taliho. This is a simple way to connect the field to the best existing source.
Use custom links for trusted destinations
Common uses include:
- manufacturer information
- replacement part ordering pages
- cloud-hosted folders
- reference pages or instructions already maintained elsewhere
Name the link for the decision it supports
The link title should tell the user exactly what happens next. Strong examples include:
Order Replacement PartsManufacturer SpecificationsInstallation InstructionsShared Project Folder
Verify the URL before you publish
A custom link is only as trustworthy as the destination behind it. Double-check that the address opens correctly and that the page is appropriate for the people scanning it.
Use custom links deliberately
Custom links work best when they support the workflow without adding confusion.
- Point only to destinations your team trusts.
- Keep the link name short and specific.
- Review the destination occasionally to make sure it is still current.
- Use password protection if the linked experience should not be open to everyone.
If the destination already lives in Procore, consider Share Procore Tool Data with Taliho instead.
