This article will teach you how to add a QR Code, or equipment tag, to an existing piece of equipment.
A QR Code is a mobile device readable barcode that can be printed and attached to a piece of equipment. PM Work Orders for equipment are easily accessible by scanning the QR Code with a mobile phone or tablet.
- From the Property & Facility menu, click Settings.
- From the Property Management Settings page, navigate to the Preventive Maintenance section, and click Equipment.
- From the Preventive Maintenance: Equipment page, ensure the applicable property is selected in the property selector at the upper-right corner of the page, and then click the name of the piece of equipment that you desire to add a QR Code to.
- From the [Equipment Name] page, click the Actions button and then select Create QR Code.
- Once the new window has opened displaying the QR Code, click Print and attach it to the piece of equipment.
- Note: Using a QR code reader from your mobile device, you can then scan the QR code of a piece of equipment. When scanned, you will be taken to the Preventive Maintenance index page, which will be filtered by the piece of equipment, so you can see all associated work orders.
