The QR code is currently supported by default for files in '.PDF' format.

Click here for detailed instructions on configuring a QR code on files in other formats.

You can configure project settings for QR Code as described below:

Type of QR Code - There are two main types of QR (Quick Response) codes: Dynamic and Static.
Select 'Dynamic' if you want file attribute details to appear dynamically on the selected file version, irrespective of when the QR code was generated.
Select 'Static' if you want file attribute details to appear as a static value (i.e. a fixed value) based on the selected file version when the QR code was generated.

For the 'Static' QR code, the 'Status Message' for the selected file (indicating whether it is the latest or superseded) will appear based on the relevant workflow configuration.

QR Code Positioning - From the dropdown options, select a position to display the QR code on the file.

QR Code Displacement - Enter the required values for QR code displacement, and select the measure and position from the dropdown list.

QR Code Verification (Not applicable for 'Static' QR code) - Check the document POI (purpose of issue) and/or document status and corresponding values from the available options. Based on the file revisions matching the selected POI and status, it can help you derive the latest revision and superseded revision.

Status Message (Not applicable for 'Static' QR code) - Enter a message you want users to see while scanning the QR code on a file, based on its status and POI.

Select Attributes for QR Code - From the 'Available Attributes' dropdown list, select the attributes you want to appear when users scan the QR code.
The attributes list values appearing upon QR code scan can vary from time to time if the type of QR code is set as 'dynamic'. The attributes list can include both standard attributes as well as custom attributes. Use the right arrow button to move them to the selected attributes list. You can choose multiple attributes simultaneously using the 'Ctrl' key.

Accordingly, to remove any of the 'Selected Attributes', select them from the 'Selected Attributes' dropdown list. Use the left arrow button to move them to the available attributes list. Use the up and down arrow keys to set the display sequence for selected attributes.

Display attribute value in - Select the language in which the attribute labels/values for selected attributes should be displayed when the user scans the QR code.
Note: Labels/values will respect the language preference set (as per the language dropdown available at the top) by the user under their respective login.

Add Link to - Tick the boxes to 'View File' and/or 'View Revision Notes' based on what you want the users to see when they scan the QR code. Clicking the 'View File' link will take users to the Asite File Viewer where the latest file revision is open. Clicking the 'View Revision Notes' link will take users to a web page containing revision notes for all revisions for that particular file.

The above settings per points 2 and 3 help you control the positioning and displacement of the QR code - on any applicable files published on folders having QR code settings enabled. Below is the size of the QR code that will be generated on applicable files as per their page size:
