QR Code direct link to form.

Is there an option to set up a QR code that when scanned with user Mobil device camera it opens the Go Canvas mobile app (IOS) and takes to a specific form?

We use gocanvas on a daily basis multiple times a day for specific tasks and reports. If we could save 5-10 seconds per entry it will add up.

  • Howdy Ivan,

    Thank you for sharing this feedback! This is an interesting request and I'm surprised I didn't find similar previous posts. Could you please share a bit more detail on your intended use case? 

    -What sort of forms are you using?
    -Would you use the QR code to open a new submissions for a specific form, or just use the code to automatically navigate to that form on the Apps page?

    I can see how this functionality would be helpful, and any other details you can share (or comments/upvotes from other users) would be great to provide to our Product managers for consideration.

  • It would be very helpful if you were able to generate a QR code for every pdf created so that the qr code can then be printed and attached to the item that the pet was created for .
    For example a fire door that has been worked on and can prove the work that has been completed on the door

  • Hi Chip,

    I apologize for the extended delay on my response.

    What we are looking for is a QR code that navigates to a specific form on the Apps page. 

    Our installers have to submit daily forms every day, we would use the QR codes so they can immediately access their forms such as:

    - Toolbox Topix

    - COVID questionnaire

    - Activity Hazard Analysis

    - Job site Hazard Analysis.

    I have pictured these QR codes posted on the gang box/ lock up area so every one can scan it and proceed to fill in their info.

    Thanks a lot for looking at this.

  • Good afternoon to all on this thread,

    As a daily user of go canvas, our organization is in need of access to a QR code or even a barcode that will link directly to one of our Apps.  I don't normally voice my concern, but under the current global environment this should a strong priority  for go canvas...   We require the QR or bar code for contactless delivery's and visitors to our site. (as one method of transmission of covid is by contact)

    I believe it wouldn't take much time on mastering this addition to Go canvas, as I am a novice and have directed a QR code to our account directly.   As a paying customer of Go Canvas and with the current environment, I believe this should be a priority of your organization to ensure seamless data collection.

    Kindest regards

    Pat

  • I am also interested in the ideas brought up on this thread. I would like the QR code to take a user directly into the right form once scanned with the phone's camera, similar to what Will mentioned above. 

    Thank you!

  • We also are interested.

    It would be great if I scan a QR code and the GoCanvas app opens in the correct App/Form

  • Hey ya'll,

    I will bring this back up with our project managers because this is an interesting use case that I am seeing more and more often out in the world. A restaurant near me uses QR codes for all their separate menus which helps with cleanliness and guiding guests to the section of the menu they care about in the moment. I see how something similar to that may apply to guiding users to the correct form they need to complete. Thanks for continuing to comment and upvote this post as those votes are a huge metric we track!

  • Hey Bayu,

    Thanks for coming to the community to voice support for this request. The product team has been working on some really big things that will be released over the next year and that is why I don't have an update on this request. Many of the things they are working on are actually requests from the community! So it is important to come to the community to voice support for features that would help your workflow and encourage others to upvote these requests. The more buzz generated by a request, the more seriously the product team considers it for their roadmap.

  • For TCR international, we want to implement a QR code scan directly to open the app.

    Can you please keep us up to date when this will be available?

  • Hi Mark,

    Thanks so much for your continued interest in this feature. As of right now, this is natively not available within GoCanvas. We will update here if anything changes.

    I do however have a workaround option that may or may not work for you. GoCanvas has an add-on for Web Forms which allows you to send a form out to individuals that can be filled out without logging into the GoCanvas mobile, tablet, or desktop clients. Webforms has a link associated with it that you could take and put into a QR code generator.

    I know this isn't perfect, but I hope it helps.

    Best,
