Scanning and QR codes

Scan item barcodes and Dynamo QR codes, put QR codes on records and printouts, public verification and revoking codes.

Scan

Use Scan in the top bar (or the phone bar). Point the camera at a Dynamo QR code or a barcode. If the camera is not available or you did not allow it, type or paste the code instead.

  • A Dynamo QR code opens the record it belongs to — if you are allowed to see it.
  • An item barcode opens the item.

Scanning never gives access: a code only points to a record, and Dynamo checks your permissions every time.

Put a QR code on a record

On supported records (for example equipment, quality inspections, projects, tasks, items and files) choose QR code in the form menu to create a code, download it as a vector (SVG) or image (PNG) for labels, or add it to a print format.

  • Private codes work only for signed-in people who may open the record.
  • Public codes show a verification page with a few facts chosen for that kind of record (for example a report number, date and result) to anyone who scans them — nothing else.
  • Give a code an expiry date if it should stop working, and revoke it at any time (for example when a label is lost). Revoked and expired codes show as not valid.

What is in the code

A Dynamo QR code contains only a random reference and your workspace address — never the record data itself. A code from another organization, or a code that was altered, is rejected.

Codes required by law

Codes required by tax rules (for example e-invoicing QR codes) are generated separately by the features that need them and are not Dynamo QR codes.
