Publish Documents & Drawings - QR Code

Quick Response Code (QR Code)

The objective of the QR Code functionality is that user with a smartphone could scan and check if the drawing is latest or superseded. Quick response codes (known as “QR” codes) are a very convenient way to display a small bit of information that is easily scanned and processed typically by mobile devices.

 

When each drawing is published to a folder, a unique QR code will be generated for the drawings. To generate QR code for drawings, users will have to set the rules before publishing the drawings. Follow the steps given below to set the rules.

 

1. Enable QR Code

A new section for definition of QR functionality has been introduced in the Workspace settings for Administrators to define if QR code functionality is to be enabled.

 If Administrator selects Top – Left position to place a generated QR Code on the document revision then administrator can specify the displacement for Top and Left.
