QR code added to drawings to allow quick validation on site

 

We are new to Viewpoint and have seen that one features of our old system that would be really useful in VPF .

It would be good if you can add some form of QR or bar code to each printed drawing.

The purpose of this is that anyone can then quickly check that the drawing they are looking at is the most up to date. They can use any QR reader app on their phone to read the code.

After the code being scanned a page is returned to the app / browser with the drawing name, the latest revision date and a simple green tick or red cross to show it's status.

The key here is that you don't need to be a user if the system, or log in order to see the status.

All subcontractors, site staff and management are able to see a drawing status quickly and easily. This would work (so long as there is a mobile signal) out on site so there would be no need to return to the site office - or even use VFP at all.

It also allows very quick checking of multiple drawings as it only takes seconds after the scanning to see the results.

    I agree. have suggested something similar. if a QR code exists then if it is uploaded with comments then it can be automatically filed in the system.

    I agree - this would be ideal for use on site. Please address as a priority for our application of VP! Thank you!
