Manual mode
Drop posters and displays that have no QR.
TraceReach Drop plays this walkthrough on the live app, pointing at one control at a time and waiting for the press. Read its steps here first, in the app's own words, on any phone or laptop.
- 01
No QR?
Take a photo of materials and displays that don't have QRs: posters, flyers, spray chalk.
- 02
Pick Manual
Once you are signed in
Tap Manual on the mode switch.
- 03
Take the photo
Once you are signed in
Tap the shutter. This is practice, so it saves nothing. Out on the street, the drop saves and uploads on its own.
- 04
Sign in first
Before you sign in
Manual drops save to your hub, so sign in from the Settings gear. You can scan QR codes right now without an account.
- 05
Manual mode done
Pick Manual, take the photo, and the drop uploads on its own. Use it whenever the piece has no QR.
Play it in Drop
Open TraceReach Drop, tap Help in the bottom corner of the camera or the map, then pick Manual mode.
Help has what the words on your screen mean, and the guides for running a hub.
