Creating QR Codes for Equipment in Built Insights and CxAlloy

Wednesday, September 9, 2026

By Thane Vajda, Infinite Built Customer Success Manager

This guide shows how to export QR codes for project equipment, match them to equipment IDs, and embed those QR images into the corresponding equipment checklists so mobile users can scan for verification. Follow the steps to locate assets, export QR codes to Excel, find the correct QR image using the Equipment ID, save the image, and upload it into the equipment’s checklist and files. It streamlines QR-based asset identification and mobile verification.
