How to scan QR codes with the Dalux FM Mobile App

To scan a QR code with the Dalux FM app, open the app and press the QR code icon () in the top right of the screen. The icon can be found in either the Work orders or Assets tab.

It does not matter which menu you scan the QR code from.

The Dalux FM App will only open QR codes for the specific instance you are currently logged into. If you are working with multiple Dalux FM instances, be sure to switch to the correct one before scanning the QR code.

  • View the asset
  • Edit or delete the asset
  • Create a work order on the asset
  • Create a ticket on the asset

If the asset has been connected to a product, all product documents are at the bottom of the asset. You can press on them to open them.

This makes it easy for facility management personnel to quickly scan the QR code and access any technical documents for the product.

Scan the QR code for the asset and press 'Show asset'.

If you have edit permissions, you will see an DaluxIcon_edit.png-icon at the top. Pressing the icon will reopen the asset window, and all information can be changed.
