Do the task
Follow these steps in order
Choose the workflow
Select Ready, Signal, Observe, Assets or another currently supported QR workflow before generating a code.
Step 1: Choose the workflowSet the scope
Choose the organization, site, shift or asset context required by the workflow.
Step 2: Set the scopeUse a meaningful label
Name the code for its physical location and purpose so it can be monitored and retired correctly.
Step 3: Use a meaningful labelTest every user state
Test with an administrator, a connected worker and an unconnected participant where the workflow supports them.
Step 4: Test every user statePost the five answers
State who can scan, whether sign-in is required, what is collected, who can see it and where to get help.
Step 5: Post the five answersMonitor and retire
Review scans and reported issues, replace damaged signage and deactivate codes that are moved or no longer valid.
Step 6: Monitor and retire
Check that it worked
- Printed label and opening screen agree
- Scope is correct after scanning
- Expected user states succeed or fail safely
- The code can be deactivated and its owner knows how
If something goes wrong
The QR opens the wrong site, shift or asset.
Deactivate it, correct the scope, generate a replacement and remove every old physical copy.
An unconnected worker cannot continue.
Check whether the selected workflow allows public participation or requires a Passport connection.
