[Feature Request]: Customizable QR Code Content for Asset Labels #15107
Comments
Honestly, I find current qr code/ barcode implementation useless. Due to security, most companies (actually, all I worked with) don't allow access to their local network via wlan so getting URL from QR code doesn't make much sense. If Asset label doesn't have Asset Tag on it - good luck finding any information without network access. :) |
I would like to have the option for the QR code to have the just the Asset Tag, similar to the 1D barcode. We use QR codes as both a damage/wear resistant 1D code alternative (1D Codes often have no error correction, as where QR codes do) or for smaller barcodes (Mini circle barcode labels with a QR code can be useful for some inventoried items that do not have many flat spaces for a full size barcode. One such example is a Lens for a DLSR camera.) With the ability to just return the Asset Tag, they work in the same manor as the 1D barcodes. 2D barcode readers have become much less expensive, and use this functionality. |
It would be fantastic if you could decide for yourself what was in the QR code An example of a way to do it would be to put it in {} in the same way as you do in Title So in 2D Barcode Target could it be: or just use one of the ID's {Asset_Tag} |
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, the QR codes generated for asset labels in Snipe-IT contain the Snipe-IT link to the asset, which includes a sequentially generated ID. While this is useful, it would be more beneficial if users could choose what information is embedded in the QR code. For example, including the asset tag, model number, manufacturer, etc., would allow for more flexibility and utility in different use cases.
Describe the solution you'd like
I propose adding a feature that allows users to customize the content of the QR codes generated for asset labels. This feature should provide options to include various pieces of asset information such as:
The user interface for generating asset labels should include a section where users can select which pieces of information they want to be included in the QR code. This could be implemented using checkboxes or a similar selection mechanism.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently, the QR code link in Snipe-IT uses a sequentially generated ID for each asset. As an alternative, it could be beneficial to provide an option to use the asset tag instead of the sequential ID, since the asset tag is unique and typically remains constant unless changed under special circumstances.
Additional context
This feature would significantly enhance the flexibility and functionality of the QR codes on asset labels. Different organizations have different needs, and being able to customize QR code content would allow them to tailor the labels to their specific requirements. For example, some organizations might prioritize quick access to the asset tag and serial number, while others might need the model number and manufacturer information readily available.
