Generating QR codes for assets
In Planon ProCenter , it is possible to generate QR codes for one or more assets, which can be scanned by Planon mobile apps. You can scan QR codes with your mobile app to:
• Report an incident for an asset
• Check any open incidents on that asset
* 
The Generate QR code option is located on the Assets action panel and will be available only when an asset is selected.
Procedure
1. Go to the Assets selection level.
2. From the list of assets, select one or more assets for which you want to generate a QR code.
If you select multiple items, you will generate an equal number of QR codes.
3. Click on the Generate QR code button. The following screen appears:

The image size is set to Extra-Large by default.
4. Set the Error correction level to Low, Medium, Quartile or High. The error correction level of the QR code depends on what level you select.
* 
It is recommended to select Medium. Codes generated in the medium level can be scanned faster by the apps and are good for office environments.
If there is a need to create QR codes for industrial places, select the High error correction level. Codes with a High correction level can be scanned even if they are partly covered. The scanning however, will be slower.
5. Select the Include code in QR option if you want to include the code in the image. Select this option only if it is necessary, as the code will be included anyway in the image's file name.
* 
It is recommended to uncheck the Include code in QR option, as the dimensions of the image will be disturbed when the code number is included.
6. Click on the Download option to generate the QR code.
A folder named QR-codes-ASSET.zip contains QR-codes.csv file and QR codes will be downloaded in the downloads folder of your computer. Extract the files from the .zip file to view the generated QR-codes.csv and QR codes.
* 
The generated codes are stored in .png extension format and are transparent. It is not possible to choose another file extension.
The generated QR code looks as follows:
