QR codes allow you to embed scannable links directly into your printed labels. You can link a QR code to an external URL, a BOLDR Pro project, a specific job, group, individual measurement, or a job file, making it easy for anyone on-site to scan a label and instantly access the relevant data.
Adding a QR Code to Your Label
- In the label editor, tap the + inside a cell to open the Add Input Field menu.
- Select QR Code from the list of available input fields.
- A Link menu will appear, prompting you to choose what the QR code should link to.
QR Code Link Options
When you add a QR code, you choose from six link types. The QR code is generated automatically based on your selection.
External Link (URL)
- Links the QR code to any website or external URL you enter manually.
- After selecting this option, a text field will appear where you can type or paste the URL. Tap Generate QR Code to confirm.
- Useful for linking to external documentation, spec sheets, supplier pages, or any web-based resource relevant to the job.
Active Project
- Links the QR code to the project that is currently active in BOLDR Pro.
- When scanned, the QR code opens the full project view, giving the scanner access to all jobs, groups, and measurements within that project.
- Ideal for labeling materials or work areas associated with a specific project so team members can quickly pull up all related data.
Active Job
- Links the QR code to the specific job that is currently selected within the active project.
- When scanned, the QR code opens directly to that job and its associated groups and measurements.
- Useful when you want to point someone to a specific scope of work rather than the entire project.
Group
- Links the QR code to a specific measurement group within the active job.
- After selecting this option, you will be shown your available groups to choose from.
- Great for labeling individual assemblies, sections, or components that correspond to a particular group of measurements.
Measurement
- Links the QR code to a single measurement within the active job.
- After selecting this option, your measurement grid will appear and you can tap the specific measurement to link.
- Best for labels that need to reference one exact dimension, such as labeling a cut piece with a scannable reference back to its recorded measurement.
Job File
- Links the QR code to a file that has been attached to the current job (such as a PDF, drawing, or reference document).
- After selecting this option, you will be shown the files associated with the job to choose from.
- Useful for giving on-site workers quick scan access to blueprints, plans, or other reference documents without needing to navigate through the app.
Editing a QR Code After Adding It
Tap the QR code on your label to open the Edit QR Code menu with the following options:
- Add / Replace Link — Opens the Link menu again so you can change what the QR code points to.
- Rotate Field — Rotates the QR code within the cell.
- Clear Field Type — Removes the QR code but keeps the empty cell on the label.
- Delete Cell — Removes the entire cell from the label layout.
