Snipe-it: Feature request: print QRcode for assets

[ledzgio]

Print QRcodes would be a great but simple to implement feature.

[snipe]

Hi @ledzgio - can you explain more what you're looking for here?

[danielheene]

Hey @snipe i would appreciate this feature too!
or even if its possible to add the asset id as written words to the QR image for printing them because sometimes it's faster to read the id than scanning it.

[snipe]

@danielheene Can you tell me more about your use case here? Are you looking to print a sheet of stickers with QR codes?

[hansenc0705]

Atlassian had a nice implementation using QR codes, maybe something similar?

[danielheene]

@snipe Yes, i am looking forward to print the QR codes on stickers and put them on our mobile assets like notebooks. In this case it would be very helpful if you can also read the id directly from the sticker if you have no QR reader around you.

[snipe]

I assume you'd have some standardized label sheet to work from. I do worry that I'll have to accommodate a metric ass-load of sticker sizes and sheets.

[danielheene]

@snipe i don't even did it yet but i'm looking forward to do so in future. i just meant putting the asset id to the png file the system already provides. so you can pick the png file from the website and print it on stickers. but i didn't really think about optimized sizes and resolutions for special sticker sizes. then it should be my problem to look for an correct sticker size :)

@snipe just adding the asset number or serial number to the PNG would be ok like @danielheene mentioned

[snipe]

@thedaftbadger How is that different from what we already have?

[thedaftbadger]

@snipe sorry only realised this after the comment earlier. They look informative ok.
Maybe for the future the ability to add a company logo or "Property of" custom text?

[snipe]

That's already an option in the settings.

2.0 looks really nice! I'm on demo right now. How did you generate this sheet of QR codes 2 posts earlier? Thanks for your work, awesome stuff :)

Ah, I missed that! Thank you. Great feauture. Although labels are not evenly spread on a page, they're squeezed more to the top. Is it a bug (which I should report?) or something you're aware of?

[snipe]

I don't actually know what you mean. The screenshot you saw was from the demo. If something looks differently for you, please provide screenshots.

[mnlabs]

Label generator works the same way as it is shown on your screenshot. The issue is that it's not compatible with "Avery 5027, 5026* and 8425 in portrait mode". Here's rough mocap:

It doesn't fit on US Letter or A4. I don't think that this whole Avery thing is worldwide compatible. It looks like worldwide commercially available labels are made with A4 paper divisions in mind, something like this:

I know there's probably _a lot_ of label sizes but do you think maybe we could get something more flexible? It is possible to just ask before label generation for paper size, label size and grid layout, then just scale QR/Bar coded to fit those constraints appropriately. It would be hell of a lot more useful for people who actually need to print those labels. Not to mention you could just print hundreds of them without any post-processing or save to pdf from web browser and print later.

[JochenLeppin]

Unfortunately, we can't use Snipe-IT because of this limitation, too. Will something like this be available soon?

[snipe]

@JochenLeppin v3 has more customizable options for labels. You're welcome to check out the demo. htttps://v3.snipeitapp.com

[mnlabs]

In version 3 it's finally doable! Thank you. It's a little bit cumbersome without presets (maybe we could provide particular settings with time?) but still a great improvement!

If we could just ask for a units switch box (i.e. millimeters vs inches), that would be most appreciated.

Little howto for others because of documentation differences between v2 and v3:
Settings -> Edit settings -> Labels
Menu -> Assets -> select assets -> top left drop-down menu -> Generate Labels -> Go

Can you include a company logo on the labels?
