Before You Start

How QR Codes Work

Every inventory item in Zeltask automatically generates a QR code. When scanned, the QR code opens the item's detail view directly, giving you immediate access to:

  • Stock levels
  • Location
  • Manufacturer and model
  • Attached documentation
  • Activity history

  1. Click Inventory in the left navigation bar
  2. Find and click on the inventory item
  3. The detail view opens

Step 2: Locate the QR code

The QR code is displayed in the detail view of the inventory item.
