QR codes on screen?

Brandon,
I used a different site and a different way to get it on screen, but not in a dashboard.
I used the BAQ Zone in the Extended Properties for the Part.PartNum field to show a QR code for the part number:

  1. Create a shared BAQ on the Part table that returns the Part number and a Calc field that constructs the URL, here is mine:
    'https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=qr&chl=' + Part.PartNum + '&chs=180x180&choe=UTF-8&chld=L|2%27 alt=%27qr code%27'
    Note the %27 is critial for the URL quote replacement. (manually URL encoding)
  2. In Extended Properties, set the Zone BAQ to the BAQ
  3. Open Part Tracker and click on the BAQ Zone arrow to the right of the part number field:

You can probably do something similar in a dashboard, the key being to have a calc field in your BAQ that the dashboard can use… I’ve never tried that … maybe I will.
