Use a CSV export to take your dynamic QR code scan log out of the dashboard and into the reporting tool your team already uses. This guide explains where to start, how to download the file, and how to check it before sharing or analyzing it.
The analytics dashboard is useful for checking QR code activity at a glance. A CSV is more useful when you need to work with the underlying scan log outside the product, compare scans with another campaign report, prepare a recurring update, or hand data to a colleague.
Dynamic QR codes can report scans over time, country and city breakdowns, peak scan times, and scanner device, operating system, and browser information. Exporting lets you organize the available data in a spreadsheet and decide which views answer your reporting question.
For example, you might export the log after an event to review activity by day, compare different printed placements, or create a simple summary for a stakeholder. Keep the question specific before downloading. “Did the poster receive scans during the event?” is easier to answer than opening a file without a reporting goal.
A static QR code cannot be tracked after it is created. If you need scan analytics or the ability to change a destination after print, use a dynamic code.
If you are still creating the code, start with a free QR code and choose a dynamic code when you need editable destinations and scan analytics.
Confirm that you selected the right code before exporting. Give each code a clear internal name when possible, especially if several codes point to the same campaign page. A code placed on a table tent, a poster, and a handout may need separate exports if you want to compare placement performance.
spring-event-poster-scans.csv.QRhubly provides a one-click download for the full scan log. If your workspace offers date controls or export filters, confirm their behavior with your team before relying on them for a period-specific report.
Open the CSV in your spreadsheet application. Start by checking the column headers and a small sample of rows. This helps you understand what the export includes and prevents incorrect assumptions about field names, date formats, or location detail.
Then perform a quick quality check:
Location information should be treated as approximate reporting context, not as a person’s identity. QRhubly states that it hashes IP addresses and does not store raw IP addresses. Share exports only with people who need the information for the intended reporting purpose, and follow your organization’s data-handling policies.
A practical workflow is to preserve the raw export, create a working copy, and record the reporting period and code placement in the file name or a notes sheet. From there, use spreadsheet filters, pivot tables, or your reporting platform to summarize the data that matters to your campaign.
Useful report questions include:
Document the QR code, date range, and any filtering steps alongside each report. That makes later comparisons more reliable, particularly when a destination has been updated after printing.
