This article covers generating and using QR codes for assets in your buildings.
QR codes placed on the location will allow users to scan the code with the Dalux FM or Dalux HelpDesk app to instantly open the asset and see the various information linked to the asset. After scanning a QR code, you can also quickly create new tickets or work orders.

The QR code print can show up to 3 lines of text. Opting for 'Large text' will increase the text size but limit the data to two fields with 7 characters each per line.
You can choose from predefined values or user-defined fields added to rooms in the settings from the drop-down menu.
A custom prefix can be added. Prefixes can help users better understand what room the QR code is connected to.
The window will display classifications in groups, and the order shown will determine the sequence in which QR codes are produced and printed.
You can use the icon to rearrange the printed fields by moving them up or down.
When done click on 'Generate' to create the QR codes. They can then be downloaded, so you can print them and put them on location.
Note
When generating QR codes for assets, the settings you used previously will be automatically chosen if you generate the QR code again.
You can change the print fields and any content in the asset without the QR code changing, so any existing QR codes in your building will still work.
