Overview

The QR Codes and Links Designer facilitates the creation and management of QR codes and direct links within EHS Insight. This feature addresses the need for users to submit any form within the system, such as Work Observations, Near Misses, Incidents, and Inspections. 

 

QR codes can be set up with a direct link to any form. For example, a QR code can contain a direct link to an Audit form that has been pre-populated with information like Business Entity and an Asset. These links can be set up to access a Dashboard, a set of records (Form, Document Library, SDS Dashboard, and Reports), or to submit a form.
