You can insert any type of barcode into a report template. When a report is generated using the template, it will include a unique barcode that, when read by a barcode scanner (for example, a camera app or barcode reader on a mobile device), will pull up the details page for the object for which the report was generated (for example, the building or device).
To insert a barcode into the report template, expand the barcode menu in the left pane and select the type of barcode you want to insert. In this example, we'll use a QR code.

You can establish a link in the QR code by clicking the pen icon in the Code box in the Bar Code dialog that opens when you insert the barcode into the report template.

When the user generates the report for a specific object that exists in the VertiGIS FM database, a unique QR code is generated. Scanning it will open the details page for the object for which the report was generated.
