How to use the material tracking label
The square tracking code on your label is called a QR Code. This code can be printed as a label to tag your materials so you can quickly look up your detail pages on your phone.
How to use the QR code:
- Print out the label for your material.
- Open your QR app on your phone, then point your camera at the printed QR code. This will scan and recognize the code and start loading your material page.
To use the QR code, you will need a web-enabled phone with an in-built camera, as well as an app installed that can read QR codes.
