How to create the QR code of an item in monday.com (free feature)

Use QR code to track items in the field

Monday.com is a project management tool organized into boards that include various items. Each item is customizable based on user needs. For example, a rental company might use it to manage their vehicle fleet, or a factory might track a manufacturing order.

To expedite item tracking in the field, creating a QR code for each item could be beneficial. Field personnel can then scan the QR code to instantly access the item information on their smartphones.

The Ubiqod App for Monday makes this process straightforward and quick. The app is free, and users don’t need to create an account on the platform if they are only using this feature.
