Is my pass correctly installed?

I am going on my first trip with the Senior Interrail Global Pass (electronic) with 5 travel days, and I am a bit nervous about whether I have installed the pass correctly. What makes me especially nervous is that I cannot see any QR code for my tickets, but maybe they are only activated when I start the journey?

I have planned my trip, and I can also find it when I click on "My trip." On the "My pass" page, there is a yellow bar with the text "Add a journey." When I click on it, I am taken to the "My trip" page. Next to each trip, there is a button on the right that I can activate. My first trip is called Aarhus H – Hamburg Hbf. When I activate the button, the stages of the trip appear: Aarhus H – Fredericia and Fredericia – Hamburg Hbf. Next to these stages, there is again a button I can activate. When I activate the button for the first stage (Aarhus H – Fredericia), I am asked: "Use a new travel day? – You will have 4 travel days left," and at the bottom, there is a yellow bar with the text "Use a travel day." I want to activate this link to see if a QR code will appear, but I hesitate because I am unsure if that would mean I have started my journey. The validity period of the pass starts only on 17/7, as that is the day I have planned my first travel day. Does this indicate that I have installed the pass correctly?

Best regards,

The QR Code will only be generated when you activate the travel day. (This step requires an active internet connection). 

But that is not something you have to do now, as its recommended to do it on the actual day of travel.

The button next to a train is how you activate a journey, and you have to do that before getting on the train. (only activating the firat journey of a day requires an internet connection, adding more later also works without an active internet connection)
