QR Code

QR Codes contain data for a locator or tracker that points out to an application. Here, in our case we use for Asset Tracking. QR code is an abbreviation for Quick Response Code which is purposely used to speed up the readability. Generally, QR Codes consist of black squares arranged in a square grid with a white background.

This QR code is readable either by a Camera or imaging device until the exact information is extracted or encoded. For QR Code support, enable/disable the functionality from the Admin > Organization > System Preference > Asset Preference tab.

The QR code supports few fields to be selected/deselected. For more details refer System Preference.
