# QuickTip: How do I capture contact data with the company data search in the VisitReport app?

## The company data search in the snapAddy VisitReport app adds missing company information automatically from external sources. This gives you complete contact data at a trade show, even if the QR code on the badge cannot be read.

### How do I add company data with the company data search?

The company data search appears in the contact view as soon as the snapAddy VisitReport app finds a company name. Tap the search result to add the company data to the participant.

1. Start a new report in the VisitReport app. Under **Add participant**, tap **Scan**.

2. Photograph the readable part of the trade show badge, for example the name and the company. snapAddy reads the data and puts it into the contact fields of the participant. As an alternative, enter the data with **Manual**.
3. When the app finds a company name, it shows the note **Company data found online**.

4. Tap the note to check the result. If there are several results, select the correct one.
5. After your selection, the app adds the company data to the participant.

The cherry on top: use the [snapAddy e-mail validator](https://portal.snapaddy.com/knowledge/how-does-the-snapaddy-e-mail-validator-work?hsLang=en) to add the corporate e-mail address of your contact.
