What is a directory in Linkbreakers

Short answer

A directory in Linkbreakers is a folder-like way to organize your QR codes and links inside a workspace.

Directories help you group related QR codes, keep large workspaces clean, and make it easier to find, manage, and bulk-create links without leaving everything at the root level.

Directories are available on the Pro plan and Enterprise. They are not included on the Free or Light plans.

Why directories matter

As soon as a workspace contains more than a handful of QR codes, flat lists become harder to manage. Teams usually need a cleaner structure for campaigns, clients, regions, products, events, or sales materials.

Directories solve that by giving you a hierarchy. Instead of keeping every QR code in one long list, you can place related items into directories and subdirectories.

Common examples include:

• Marketing
• Marketing / Trade Shows
• Sales / Product Sheets
• Restaurants / Paris / Window Posters

What you can do with directories

Directories in Linkbreakers are designed for practical workspace organization. You can:

• Group QR codes by campaign, team, location, or customer
• Create nested subdirectories for more precise structure
• Select a directory during QR code creation
• Assign directories during bulk insert imports
• Keep reporting and day-to-day management easier for large workspaces

This is especially useful when multiple people work in the same workspace and need a shared structure that stays consistent over time.

Directory examples

A few simple directory strategies work well for most teams:

Campaign-based structure

Use directories when you run recurring campaigns and want every QR code stored in the right place.

Example:

• Marketing / Spring Launch
• Marketing / Summer Promo
• Marketing / Trade Shows

Location-based structure

Use directories when the same business runs QR codes in multiple stores, offices, or markets.

Example:

• Retail / Paris
• Retail / London
• Retail / New York

Client-based structure

Agencies and consultants often prefer one directory tree per client.

Example:

• Clients / Acme
• Clients / Northwind
• Clients / Globex

Directories and bulk insert

If you use bulk insert, directories make imports easier because each QR code can be assigned directly to the right place during CSV upload.

For example, a CSV directory value such as Marketing / Trade Shows can point the QR code to that directory path instead of dropping everything into the root workspace.

This makes bulk QR code creation much more manageable for teams importing campaign batches, event assets, or large product catalogs.

Who should use directories

Directories are most useful if you:

• Manage many QR codes at once
• Run multiple campaigns in parallel
• Work with teammates in a shared workspace
• Need cleaner structure for clients, regions, or product lines
• Use bulk insert and want imported QR codes filed correctly

If you only create a small number of QR codes, a flat list may be enough. Once volume grows, directories usually become necessary.

Final takeaway

A directory in Linkbreakers is the simplest way to keep QR codes and links organized as your workspace grows.

If you manage campaigns at scale, work with teammates, or import links in bulk, directories help you keep everything structured and easier to operate.
