The code opens that asset’s page. If the worker has the Opzaco app installed, it opens there; otherwise it opens in whatever browser their phone uses. Both show the instructions, videos, reference photos, and a Start service button. They are not pixel identical — recent service history, for instance, is on the web page today and still being finished in the app.

A scan requires the worker to be signed in. If they are not, they are asked to sign in first and then continue to the asset. A stranger who photographs your sticker gets a sign-in screen, not your equipment records.

Workers who cannot scan — a cracked camera, a damaged sticker — can type the asset’s human-readable code instead. The code is printed along the bottom band of the card, so it is on hand exactly when the scan fails.

Print from the asset page. You get a preview, a PNG of the single code, and a PDF sheet of that asset’s card — four to a page, and you can ask for anywhere from 1 to 50 copies. The sheet covers one asset at a time, not a whole property in one pass. What you do with the printout is up to you: most people use adhesive label stock for equipment, and card stock where a code has to survive weather or washdown.

Codes are rendered on the server, so a code printed today and the same code printed next year are identical. Nothing about the sticker depends on which browser or phone produced it.

Under Organization settings you can set a brand color. It colors the bands on the printed card, never the code itself. The code has its own separate style picker on the asset page, with a light-navy default and darker variants.

Put the code where a worker standing in front of the equipment can reach it with one hand and a phone in the other. Somewhere that will not be blanketed in dust or direct sun. If the equipment is inside a closed cabinet, put the sticker on the outside of the cabinet.
