Print a Project QR Sheet

Put a QR code in the trailer or on the site board so crews reach the right project without searching for it.

What it is for

A printed QR code for one project. A crew member points their phone camera at it and lands straight on that project, ready to add photos, no searching, no typing a job number wrong.

Open the project and choose QR sheet. Two sizes:

The PDF downloads and you print it like anything else.

Scanning requires a login

The QR code is a shortcut, not a key. Whoever scans it still has to be signed in to JobsiteOn and still has to have access to that project.

That is deliberate. These sheets end up on walls, get photographed, and stay on site after the job finishes. A code that granted access to anyone holding it would be a serious problem.

If a sheet goes missing

Choose Regenerate. The old printout stops working immediately. Anyone scanning it gets "that code does not match a project you can open", with no indication of which workspace it used to belong to.

Print a new sheet and put it up.

Note that downloading a sheet also regenerates it. That keeps the paper in someone's hand as the live one. If you print twice and put up the older copy, it will not scan. Always use the most recent download.

Troubleshooting

The code will not scan. Check it is not behind glare or a torn corner. The codes are printed with high error correction so a scuff should not matter, but a fold across the middle will.

It scans to a "cannot open" message. Either the sheet was regenerated, or the person scanning does not have access to that project. Check People with access if it is a subcontractor.

It opens the wrong project. You are holding a sheet from a different job. Regenerate both and re-label them.
