QR Code accessing a Qlik Dashboard

Hi everyone

First time posting a question here, but I couldn't find any topic related to this.

I have a request from a customer to be able to retrieve data using a QR Code. The idea is to scan the QR code on a product and to be able to see every piece of information related to it (traceability / stock / etc…)

In Qliksense we could just type manually the product number in a search box or a filter and data could be linked automatically.

But here the idea is to avoid this step by directly be directed to the dashboard filtered on the product number we scan with our phone.

I hope it makes sense.

If any of you have an idea on how to achieve this or a similar way to this concept, please feel free to comment or send me a message. Would be very appreciated.

Thanks

You could encode the product number as selection in the url contained in the QR code like this:

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/May2022/Subsystems/APIs/Content/Sense_ClientAPIs/app-integration-api.htm#:~:text=Syntax%3A%20Base%20URL%20%2B%20selection%20in%20single%20field%20(in,appid%7D/sheet/%7Bsheetid%7D/state/analysis/select/%7Bfield%7D/%7Bvalue1%3Bvalue2%7D

So your QR encoded urls might end on something like "/select/ProductNumber/PN012345"

One example using a random demo application:

https://showcase3.qlik.com/sense/app/bcca6893-a1b3-4763-8c5d-55ca7679878b/sheet/a3cec515-1751-46af-84a0-c4ad24da540d/state/analysis/select/CategoryName/Sportwear

hope this helps

It seems to be the kind of idea I can make work.

Do you mind if I contact you later with more questions when we will have to implement ?

Thanks a lot for the quick answer
