Generate and Print QR Codes for Locations

Objective

To generate a Quick Response (QR) code for a location using the Project level Admin tool.

Background

You can generate and print a QR Code for a location. In Procore, a Location QR Code is a two-dimensional, machine-readable barcode that contains information about the location to which it is attached.

Things to Consider

Required User Permissions:
- 'Admin' on the project's Admin tool.
  OR
  Users with 'Read Only' or 'Standard' level permissions with the 'Manage Locations' granular permission enabled on the project's Admin tool. See Grant Granular Permissions in a Permission Template.
Compatible Print Formats:
- Avery™ 6460
Important! A QR code scanner app will not recognise these QR codes. You must scan the QR code with one of Procore's mobile apps to either filter by the location identified in the QR code or create an item in Procore with that location linked.
