Search with QR Code

Mobility for Jira includes a QR Code scanner that can be used to scan a variety of different codes and embed them in your issue search. Currently we support

  • QR Codes

  • Datamatrix Codes

The scanner can be found on the Issues tab. By default the scanner assumes that you encoded a valid Jira issue key (e.g., TST-123) in your code, which can also include your Jira URL. Once you scan the code the app will immediately display the corresponding Jira issue.

 

In addition the scanner can be configured to support more advanced use cases. You can configure by tapping Issues > Scan > Options
