The Document New Drawings Viewer (Beta) in Procore allows you to generate and share QR codes for specific Drawings or individual markup layers. Field workers can scan these QR codes on site using a mobile device to immediately access and open the corresponding file or layer without searching through project drawing areas.

Things to Consider

  • Multiple Access Points: Generate QR codes from the top header bar menu (for an entire file) or the markups panel (for a specific markup group).

  • Opening a QR code displays document details, including the project name, file name, version number, and markup group name, as applicable. If a newer version is available, a banner allows users to navigate to the latest version.

  • Exporting Options: Download or print generated QR codes for physical distribution on the construction site.

  • Standardized File Naming: Downloaded QR code files use a structured format that automatically includes project, version, and group details.

Prerequisites

  • 'Read Only' level permissions or higher on the Drawings, Specifications, or Document management tool in Procore.

  • The document must be accessible in a supported New Drawings Viewer (Beta) tool.

Steps

Generate a QR Code for an Entire File

  1. Open the file in the Document New Drawings Viewer (Beta).

  2. Click the vertical ellipsis icon in the top toolbar.

  3. Click Create QR Code.

    • A window appears displaying the QR code alongside file details such as project name, file name, and version.

  4. Click Download QR Code or Print QR Code as applicable.

Generate a QR Code for a Specific Markup Group

  1. Open the file in the Document New Drawings Viewer (Beta).

  2. Click the My Markups icon in the toolbar to open the markups panel.

  3. Locate the markup group under Shared Markups.

  4. Click the vertical ellipsis icon next to the group name.

  5. Click Create QR Code.

    • A window appears with the QR code scoped specifically to that markup group.

  6. Select one of the following options:

    • Download QR Code: Save the QR code image file to your computer.

    • Print QR Code: Open the print preview dialog to print the QR code.

Note: QR codes open the document version they were originally created for. If a newer version is available, a banner allows users to navigate to the latest version.
