A scanned business card currently saves into a shared organizational contact list rather than appearing directly in your personal Your Network the way a QR connection does, and it works best with English-language, US-format cards.
Scanning a business card uses your camera to auto-fill a contact's details for you to review and save, though right now it saves into a shared contact list rather than directly into your personal Your Network the way a QR connection does.
Scanning a business card is a quick way to capture someone's info accurately instead of typing it in by hand. Your phone's camera reads the card and fills in a contact form for you to check over before saving.
Scanning works best with English-language cards using a US-style address. Some fields on non-US cards may come through blank or need manual correction. That's expected, not a malfunction. Always give the auto-filled fields a look before saving.
Currently, a scanned business card contact is saved into a shared organizational contact list rather than appearing directly in your own personal Your Network the way a QR connection would. Scanning is still a good way to capture someone's info accurately, it just doesn't work exactly like connecting with someone via QR code, which does add them to your personal network directly.
When someone scans your QR code, they're added directly to your personal network as a Connection. When you scan a business card, the resulting contact goes into a shared list rather than your own Your Network. Keep this in mind if you're scanning a card specifically to build out your personal network on the spot.
Does scanning a card add someone to my personal network the same way QR does?
Not currently, a scanned card goes into a shared organizational contact list rather than directly into your personal Your Network.
What if some fields come through blank on a card?
That's expected, especially with non-US card formats. Review and correct any fields before saving.
Is scanning still worth using if I have to review it?
Yes, it's faster and generally more accurate than typing someone's details in by hand. You're just double-checking the result.
