OVERRIDE QR CODES

Note: Each QR code is unique. A QR code may only be assigned to one vehicle, whereas a vehicle

may have multiple QR codes.

The possibility to assign multiple QR codes to a same vehicle enables users to continue using QR

codes, even though the first QR code is damaged or unavailable. For example, users may assign a

new QR code to a vehicle when:

- The previous QR code is damaged and does not read anymore.

- The QR code unsticks and is lost.

- Users do not notice they have already stuck a QR code on the vehicle.

- Users cannot scan the QR code as it is stuck on an unreachable place on the vehicle.

The system maintains all QR codes that have been assigned to a vehicle and scanning any of the

assigned codes displays the correct vehicle details.

SUMMARY

This section summarizes the different uses of QR codes in TireCheck.

ASSIGNING QR CODES

Users may assign QR codes to all vehicles, new or existing. Users may assign QR codes to new

vehicles when creating them, after entering the vehicle name. Users may assign QR codes to existing

vehicles when performing full, visual or fast inspections (Fig. 2).

LOADING VEHICLES OR PERFORMING FAST INSPECTIONS

Users may load vehicles by scanning the QR codes, only in full or visual inspections. If users select

the fast inspection type, they will not load vehicles but perform fast inspections (Fig. 3).

OVERRIDING QR CODES

Users may override QR codes by scanning new QR codes on the same inspection.

QR CODES AND VEHICLES

A QR code may only be assigned to one vehicle, whereas a vehicle may have multiple QR codes.

ASSIGNING QR CODES AND PERFORMING INSPECTIONS

These are two different actions. After assigning a QR code to a vehicle, this QR code remains

assigned to the vehicle, whatever the user saves or deletes the inspection.
