This reinforces accuracy and accountability across your property operations.\n\n* * *\n\n# 🔍 How It Works\n\n1. **Print the QR code** for the required location.\n\n2. **Place the code** at the physical location (or on the equipment if relevant).\n\n3. In the system, **add a \"QR code scan\" step** to the relevant task.\n\n4. When completing the task, the team **scans the code on-site** as part of the task checklist.\n\n* * *\n\n# How to Add a QR Task to your Inspection\n\nWhen creating a new inspection, you can add a QR section — a task linked to a specific location. To add it:\n\n1. In the inspection creation wizard, go to **Step 2: Tasks and Spaces**.\n\n2. Add a new section of type **\"QR Check.\"**\n\n3. Select the location from the list of locations within the property.\n\nThe task performer will be required to scan the physical QR code placed at the location, and only then will they be able to complete the task.\n\n![](https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/ymv0iawf/1617545252/ad04aedc5ebef20c502045f3cdb6/Untitled+design+-+2025-07-13T115213_890.png?expires=1791207900&signature=4ab0acf9f4b4f0f989d19aa95fa71758eab6663fa3574e358fa0ee1bca6c0865&req=dSYmEcx6mINaW%2FMW1HO4ze%2BhSQJ%2Bg59c%2B9I1XE2rvvhDJfr34d3JraXtJ%2BJY%0AqmM4U71k%2FTezWk6Dle4%3D%0A)\n\n* * *\n\n# How to Export QR Codes from the Property Page\n\nTo ensure the code is available on-site for scanning, it should be exported from the **My Property** page under **Locations** and printed in advance:\n\n1. Click on **Locations** in the **My Property** page, then click on the QR code associated with the location.\n\n![](https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/ymv0iawf/1617560569/f576c7356fe26ad3aba0dfac568a/Untitled+design+-+2025-07-13T120751_916.png?expires=1791207900&signature=1fa42a264592e9ac1523b6e9de7a3dc582c1eae93ba266f417f54a6d0a60b250&req=dSYmEcx4nYRZUPMW1HO4zakpf%2BHQKPenCyJNiv7gB5PxyHzs8fjGR2eulLot%0AK4T%2B%0A)\n\n2.

This means the task can only be completed when the staff is actually present at the correct location. It ensures the inspection is carried out on-site, exactly where intended, reinforcing accuracy and accountability in the process.\n\n* * *\n\n# What Happens When Someone Scans a QR Code\n\nScanning a QR code provides quick access to relevant tasks at a location, up-to-date information, and saves time navigating through the system.\n\n**When a team member scans a location QR code — whether or not they're inside an inspection — the system will respond as follows:**\n\n- **If there are no active inspections at that location** — A page with the location's details will open, including equipment, activity history, and more.\n\n- **If there are active inspections at that location** — All relevant tasks will be displayed immediately and can be started right away.\n\n![](https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/ymv0iawf/1617574976/2f046e81f8ec492d20072761f71e/Untitled+design+-+2025-07-13T122306_288.png?expires=1791207900&signature=586cd8ca46211b853c8bb7066a385e6bd1a452eb2a0d237af62fa290df9480ed&req=dSYmEcx5mYhYX%2FMW1HO4zTXJUdpfnwr9g3dsDgrahojClqj%2Fq8JL21eYUzTH%0AE9%2F4m37LpmUT89T4n48%3D%0A)\n\n* * *\n\n# Related Articles\n\n- [How to Create and Edit Inspections](http://help.visitt.io/en/articles/8799107-how-to-create-and-edit-inspections)\n\n- [Navigating and Managing Inspections in Visitt](http://help.visitt.io/en/articles/15181165)\n\n- [QR Codes for Spaces and Equipment](http://help.visitt.io/en/articles/11479876-qr-codes-for-spaces-and-equipment)\n\nThank you for reading — we're here if you have any questions 😊\n\n* * *\n\nRelated Articles\n\n- [How to Create and Edit Inspections](http://help.visitt.io/en/articles/8799107-how-to-create-and-edit-inspections)\n- [QR Codes for Spaces and Equipment](http://help.visitt.io/en/articles/11479876-qr-codes-for-spaces-and-equipment)\n\nDid this answer your question?\n\nDisappointed Reaction😞Neutral Reaction😐Smiley Reaction😃\n\nTable of contents\n\n[🔍 How It Works](https://help.visitt.io/en/articles/11758404-require-on-site-qr-code-scan-before-task-completion#h_e8d0f956f2)[How to Add a QR Task to your Inspection](https://help.visitt.io/en/articles/11758404-require-on-site-qr-code-scan-before-task-completion#h_cbbc7b07df)[How to Export QR Codes from the Property Page](https://help.visitt.io/en/articles/11758404-require-on-site-qr-code-scan-before-task-completion#h_3d450e1a3e)[Example Scenario](https://help.visitt.io/en/articles/11758404-require-on-site-qr-code-scan-before-task-completion#h_0f08190b5d)[What Happens When Someone Scans a QR Code](https://help.visitt.io/en/articles/11758404-require-on-site-qr-code-scan-before-task-completion#h_286cbab6c5)[Related Articles](https://help.visitt.io/en/articles/11758404-require-on-site-qr-code-scan-before-task-completion#h_related)","capture_id":"8ed26002e865b4174c47d720bf99513d88859dfda1af8f2a0833e218472f0093","captured_at":"2026-10-05T13:10:34.080Z","published_at":null,"indexed_at":"2026-10-05T13:10:34.105Z","truncated":0,"scope_tier":"primary","monitor_reason":"","last_error":"Firecrawl HTTP 402 (payment required: check the provider account credits or billing)","last_attempt_at":"2026-10-12T13:08:45.737Z","enabled":1,"evidence_notes":[],"text_available":true,"media":["https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/ymv0iawf/1617545252/ad04aedc5ebef20c502045f3cdb6/Untitled+design+-+2025-07-13T115213_890.png?expires=1791207900&signature=4ab0acf9f4b4f0f989d19aa95fa71758eab6663fa3574e358fa0ee1bca6c0865&req=dSYmEcx6mINaW%2FMW1HO4ze%2BhSQJ%2Bg59c%2B9I1XE2rvvhDJfr34d3JraXtJ%2BJY%0AqmM4U71k%2FTezWk6Dle4%3D%0A","https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/ymv0iawf/1617560569/f576c7356fe26ad3aba0dfac568a/Untitled+design+-+2025-07-13T120751_916.png?expires=1791207900&signature=1fa42a264592e9ac1523b6e9de7a3dc582c1eae93ba266f417f54a6d0a60b250&req=dSYmEcx4nYRZUPMW1HO4zakpf%2BHQKPenCyJNiv7gB5PxyHzs8fjGR2eulLot%0AK4T%2B%0A","https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/ymv0iawf/1617564458/b70bcc13c9e4e73bcb07083180f3/Untitled+design+-+2025-07-13T121124_402.png?expires=1791207900&signature=7ff5a5be58bbd2f3035622f96a59bb302190b58efa1477ad99ad5348ac0313cc&req=dSYmEcx4mYVaUfMW1HO4zSzP89vpfq9g7ZgbKqYlb2es99eUwcFOdq4WhCsI%0Ato5K%0A","https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/ymv0iawf/1617574976/2f046e81f8ec492d20072761f71e/Untitled+design+-+2025-07-13T122306_288.png?expires=1791207900&signature=586cd8ca46211b853c8bb7066a385e6bd1a452eb2a0d237af62fa290df9480ed&req=dSYmEcx5mYhYX%2FMW1HO4zTXJUdpfnwr9g3dsDgrahojClqj%2Fq8JL21eYUzTH%0AE9%2F4m37LpmUT89T4n48%3D%0A"],"interpretation":"Unreviewed source evidence.
