Is the barcode feature still restricted to higher priced plans?

Great question @Tobias - at the moment yes it is

Thank you for clarifying

Any plans to be able to create barcodes or QR codes?

Hey @rjp - we do plan on supporting this!

It would be great to understand what you’re hoping to use it for, simply converting URLs and text to QR codes?

we would like to have a tool tracking portal. if we could take the unique id of a tool and create a qr code we could print then place on tool so when scanned it would take you to the record and you could check a tool in or out.

We would also create training docs and forms that would have QR’s. that way you could scan a qr and it would bring up the training manual or a form/survey.
