Borealis - QR Code Enrollment

1.0 Introduction

Borealis has the option of generating and enrolling QR code credentials to simplify the management of temporary cardholders, such as visitors. Once the QR credential has been created it is then automatically emailed to the cardholder and will be immediately available to use.

Note: The QR credential format must match the format configured on the QR code reader.
