Using Fields in Profile Pages

qrtub Profile Pages can dynamically use data from your Items, Tubs, user sessions, and device information. This guide shows you how to reference fields in URL Templates and conditional visibility expressions.

Two Ways to Use Fields

1. URL Templates (Double Curly Braces)

Use {{field.name}} syntax to insert field values into Destination URLs. Example:

https://app.example.com/inspection/new?assetId={{item.serial_number}}

When someone scans the QR code for Item “EXC-203” with serial number “SN-2024-203”, they’re routed to:

https://app.example.com/inspection/new?assetId=SN-2024-203

2. Conditional Visibility (Direct References)

Use direct field references in conditions to show/hide Destinations. Example:

item.status == "operational"

This Destination only appears when the Item’s status field equals “operational”.

Available Fields

Item Fields

Items have standard fields (built-in) and custom fields (you define them).

Standard Item Fields

Field	Type	Description	Example
`item.id`	string	Unique identifier	`"item-456"`
`item.name`	string	Display name	`"Excavator #203"`
`item.description`	string	Description text	`"CAT 320 Hydraulic Excavator"`
`item.image`	string	Image URL	`"/uploads/exc203.jpg"`
`item.item_number`	string	Item number/SKU	`"EXC-203"`
`item.type`	string	Type/category	`"Heavy Equipment"`
`item.subtype`	string	Subtype	`"Excavator"`
`item.status`	string	Current status	`"operational"`
`item.tags`	array	Tags array	`["construction", "rental"]`
`item.serial_number`	string	Serial number	`"SN-2024-203"`
`item.location`	string	Physical location	`"Site A"`
`item.owner`	string	Owner/assignee	`"John Smith"`
`item.created_at`	date	Creation date	`"2024-01-15T00:00:00Z"`
`item.updated_at`	date	Last update date	`"2024-01-20T00:00:00Z"`

Important: The field is item.item_number, not item.number.

Custom Item Fields

Any custom fields you define in your Tub are accessible as item.{fieldName}. Example: If you add a custom field called inspectionDue to your Tub, reference it as:

URL Template: {{item.inspectionDue}}
Condition: item.inspectionDue < today

Tub Fields

Access information about the Tub (category/workspace) containing the Item.

Field	Type	Description	Example
`tub.id`	string	Tub unique identifier	`"tub-123"`
`tub.name`	string	Tub display name	`"Heavy Equipment"`
`tub.description`	string	Tub description	`"Construction equipment fleet"`
`tub.image_url`	string	Tub image URL	`"/images/equipment-icon.png"`
`tub.items_name`	string	Items collection name	`"Machines"`
`tub.created_at`	date	Tub creation date	`"2024-01-01T00:00:00Z"`
`tub.metadata.page.is_public`	boolean	Public accessibility	`true`
`tub.metadata.organizationName`	string	Organization name	`"BuildCo Inc."`

Nested metadata example:

tub.metadata.page.is_public == true

Session Fields

Access information about the logged-in user (if authenticated).

Field	Type	Description	Example
`session.user`	object	User object (null if not logged in)	`{...}`
`session.user.id`	string	User ID	`"user-123"`
`session.user.email`	string	User email	`"john@example.com"`
`session.user.name`	string	User name	`"John Smith"`

Check if user is logged in:

session.user != null

Device Fields

Automatically detected when someone scans the QR code.

Field	Type	Description	Example Values
`device.type`	string	Device type	`'mobile'`, `'tablet'`, `'desktop'`
`device.os`	string	Operating system	`'ios'`, `'android'`, `'windows'`, `'macos'`, `'linux'`, `'unknown'`
`device.browser`	string	Browser	`'chrome'`, `'safari'`, `'firefox'`, `'edge'`, `'opera'`, `'unknown'`
`device.isMobile`	boolean	True if mobile phone	`true` / `false`
`device.isTablet`	boolean	True if tablet	`true` / `false`
`device.isDesktop`	boolean	True if desktop	`true` / `false`
`device.isIOS`	boolean	True if iOS device	`true` / `false`
`device.isAndroid`	boolean	True if Android	`true` / `false`

See Device Detection for detailed device routing examples.

Theme Fields

Access Profile Page theme configuration.

Field	Type	Description	Example
`theme.accent`	string	Accent color	`"sky"`
`theme.radius`	string	Border radius	`"xl"`

URL Template Examples

Basic Field Insertion

Insert serial number into URL:

https://api.example.com/assets/{{item.serial_number}}

Multiple fields in one URL:

https://api.example.com/inspect?id={{item.item_number}}&location={{item.location}}

Inspection App Integration

Pre-fill asset ID in inspection:

https://app.inspectionapp.com/new?assetId={{item.serial_number}}

Pre-fill multiple fields:

https://app.inspectionapp.com/new?assetId={{item.serial_number}}&location={{item.location}}&type={{item.type}}

CMMS Integration

Open asset record:

https://app.yourcmms.com/assets/{{item.item_number}}

Create work order with context:

https://app.yourcmms.com/workorders/new?asset={{item.item_number}}&site={{item.location}}

Custom Application

Pass all relevant data:

https://yourapp.com/equipment/{{item.id}}?name={{item.name}}&status={{item.status}}

Conditional Visibility Examples

Item Status

Show “Start Inspection” only for operational equipment:

item.status == "operational"

Show “MAINTENANCE REQUIRED” only when not operational:

item.status != "operational"

Equipment Type

Show only for forklifts:

item.type == "forklift"

Show for multiple types:

item.type == "forklift" || item.type == "crane"

Dates and Expiry

Show if inspection is overdue:

item.inspectionDue < today

Show if expiring soon (within 7 days):

item.inspectionDue >= today && item.inspectionDue <= today + 7

Combining Multiple Conditions

Heavy equipment that’s operational:

item.type == "heavy-equipment" && item.status == "operational"

Crane OR forklift, AND operational:

(item.type == "crane" || item.type == "forklift") && item.status == "operational"

Device-Based Conditions

Show only on mobile devices:

device.isMobile

Show for iOS Safari only:

device.isIOS && device.browser == "safari"

Show for desktop OR iOS users:

device.isDesktop || device.isIOS

See Conditional Visibility for more complex condition examples.

Common Patterns

Pattern 1: Equipment-Specific Inspections

Different equipment types route to different inspection templates. Destination: “Forklift Inspection”

URL: https://app.inspectionapp.com/new?template=forklift&asset={{item.serial_number}}
Condition: item.type == "forklift"

Destination: “Crane Inspection”

URL: https://app.inspectionapp.com/new?template=crane&asset={{item.serial_number}}
Condition: item.type == "crane"

Pattern 2: Location-Based Routing

Route to different systems based on Item location. Destination: “Site A Work Orders”

URL: https://sitea.cmms.com/workorders/new?asset={{item.item_number}}
Condition: item.location == "Site A"

Destination: “Site B Work Orders”

URL: https://siteb.cmms.com/workorders/new?asset={{item.item_number}}
Condition: item.location == "Site B"

Pattern 3: Status-Dependent Actions

Show different Destinations based on Item status. Destination: “Start Inspection” (operational only)

Condition: item.status == "operational"

Destination: “Report for Repair” (non-operational only)

Condition: item.status != "operational"

Destination: “Schedule Maintenance” (always visible)

Condition: (none)

Pattern 4: Device + Item Type Routing

Combine device detection with Item data. Destination: “Mobile App Inspection” (mobile + forklifts)

URL: app://inspect?id={{item.serial_number}}
Condition: device.isMobile && item.type == "forklift"

Destination: “Desktop Portal” (desktop + any type)

URL: https://portal.com/equipment/{{item.id}}
Condition: device.isDesktop

Important Notes

Field Names:

Use exact field names: item.item_number NOT item.number
Custom fields: Whatever name you gave them in Tub configuration
Case-sensitive: item.Status will NOT work, use item.status

URL Encoding:

qrtub automatically URL-encodes field values
Spaces become %20, special characters are escaped
You don’t need to manually encode

Missing Fields:

If a field is empty/null, URL templates insert empty string
Conditions with missing fields evaluate to false
Check for existence: item.owner != null

Arrays (Tags):

Use in operator: "tag-name" in item.tags
Check size: size(item.tags) > 0
Cannot directly insert arrays in URL templates (convert to string first)

Dates:

Compare with <, >, <=, >=, ==
Use today for current date: item.inspectionDue < today
Cannot perform date arithmetic beyond simple comparisons
