Public QR codes let you share selected job sheets and location data with external auditors or contractors on site — without needing Onetrace accounts — while keeping sensitive data secure.
⚠️ We are currently testing this feature behind a feature flag while our product team gathers feedback. If you want to learn more or get access during testing, contact our support team or your customer success manager.
Enable public QR codes
There are several ways to enable public QR codes in your Onetrace workflows.
One-off projects — Enable codes for a specific site to allow inspections without affecting other projects.
Repeated work — Add public QR codes to location attributes in your global library templates to streamline recurring tasks and projects.
Enable location attributes within a project
To show location attributes on the public QR page, you need to enable this feature for the project first. This acts as the master switch for the page. You can then choose which specific location attributes to display publicly by enabling them individually.
💡 Turning on the QR code for an attribute does not affect how location attributes show on PDF reports. Read our guide to learn more about location attributes and reporting.
How to enable public QR codes in a project:
Go to Projects in the sidebar.
Select your project.
Click Project setup in the top-right corner.
Select Public QR page from the dropdown.
Toggle Enable public QR page—you’ll need this enabled even if you aren't displaying forms on the public page.
Next, go to Locations in the sidebar of Project Setup.
Create or click an attribute. Every attribute can be displayed on the public page.
Toggle Show on public page in the modal.
💡 To stop sharing the location attribute data, disable the individual attribute or turn off the whole Public QR page in your project setup.
Set up location attributes in a template
How to enable public QR codes in a global library form:

Select Project templates.
Choose the template you want to edit or create a new one.
Select Locations from the sidebar.
Create or click an attribute. Every attribute can be displayed on the public page.
Toggle Show on public page in the modal.
