Jim2 includes functionality to create a QR code sticker which can be placed on a serialised contract.

Customers can scan the code using the camera on their mobile device, and gain instant access (without needing to log on) to log a new service or consumable job for the contract. Service page counts can also be collected from customers at this time.

The QR code contains the eBusiness Service web portal URL for the contract.

The barcode is to be set on the contract by way of the Serial# field. See Set up QR Code for full instructions.

As the barcode is set for the contract (rather than the serial number), you can change the serial number when a contract is replaced.   The barcode field is a completely separate field to the Serial# field, and appears when the ellipsis [...] beside the Serial@ field is selected.
