Introduction to the Resource/Scenario Catalog

The Resource/Scenario Catalog feature enables authorized users to create catalogs containing AR scenarios, which can be easily shared via automatically generated URLs or QR codes. This content is accessible through the WorkLink app and can either be public or private, depending on how the catalog is configured. A catalog serves as a repository of Work Instructions or AR content, helping organizations manage and distribute resources efficiently.

Users can share these catalogs by text, email, or embedding the links within other applications. This feature offers flexibility, allowing businesses to securely share important AR content with internal teams or publicly distribute product information for marketing and troubleshooting.

 

Public Catalog: Share AR Content Widely

The Public Catalog feature allows companies to share AR content with anyone who has access to the URL or QR code, without the need for a WorkLink account. This is similar to sharing documents on Google Drive. Public catalogs are an ideal solution for businesses wanting to provide open access to AR content for demonstrations, troubleshooting, or marketing purposes.

Benefits of Public Catalogs:

• Access to a Wide Audience: Anyone with the catalog link or QR code can access the AR content, making it ideal for marketing materials or product demos.
• No WorkLink Account Required: Users can open the catalog and view its content without needing a licensed account, making it easy to share content externally.

Use Cases for Public Catalogs:

1. Marketing and Sales: Share links or QR codes on websites or in marketing material to allow customers to access product demonstrations.
2. Customer Support: Provide customers with AR content to help them troubleshoot issues with your product.

FAQs About Public Catalogs:

• What happens if someone opens a Public Catalog without a WorkLink account?
  The catalog opens normally, with no need to log in or provide personal information. If WorkLink is not installed, users will be prompted to download the app from the App Store.

• What functionality is available to non-WorkLink users?
  Users can interact with the AR content in the catalog as though they have a WorkLink account. However, they won’t be able to place calls, access the contacts list, or change any WorkLink settings.

• How do I share the catalog?
  You can download the QR code or copy the access link from the catalog list and share it through any media. Users can scan the QR code directly using their device’s native camera app.

 

Private Catalog: Secure Content for Internal Use

In contrast to public catalogs, Private Catalogs are restricted to licensed users within your organization. These catalogs are designed to securely distribute AR content to team members, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access sensitive material. Private catalogs work similarly to restricted Google Drive documents, where only individuals with permission can view the content.

This feature ensures that AR content is securely distributed within the company and cannot be accessed by unauthorized users.

 

Managing and Sharing Catalogs

Once a catalog is created, whether public or private, it can be easily managed and shared through the CMS. Users can:

• Download the QR code generated for each catalog to share with others.
• Copy and paste the Access Link from the catalog list into emails, websites, or other forms of communication.

For public catalogs, this allows businesses to widely distribute AR content for marketing or customer support purposes. For private catalogs, the content can be securely shared with internal users who have the necessary permissions.
