# Guide to QR Code and Label Printing

## This guide serves as a central resource for generating and managing QR codes within the Cannavigia system. By physicalizing digital data through labels, you ensure seamless traceability from the facility floor to the digital records

QR codes are a key component of Cannavigia's traceability system. By attaching labels to physical assets, inventory, cultivation areas, and production batches, users can quickly access information and perform actions directly through the Cannavigia mobile app.

Scanning a QR code allows users to identify an item instantly, reduce manual data entry, improve operational efficiency, and maintain accurate records throughout the production lifecycle.

### QR Code Benefits & Cannavigia App

#### **Benefits**

Cannavigia is built around physical traceability. QR Codes create a direct connection between real-world objects and their digital records within the platform.

Using QR Code labels helps organizations:

- Improve operational efficiency
- Reduce manual data entry errors
- Enable faster data collection
- Simplify employee workflows
- Improve inventory visibility
- Support regulatory compliance and audit readiness
- Maintain complete traceability throughout the production lifecycle

Rather than manually searching for records, users simply scan the QR Code to access the correct item instantly.

 

#### **Cannavigia App**

Once QR Code labels have been printed and attached to physical objects, employees can use the Cannavigia App to scan them directly from their mobile device.

Scanning can be used to:

- Open a Plant Batch while standing in the cultivation area
- Record cultivation activities
- Open a Project
- Access an Area
- Identify Equipment
- Select Containers during harvesting or manufacturing
- Track inventory movements
- View batch information
- Perform operational tasks directly from the field

This eliminates the need to manually search for records and helps ensure data is captured accurately in real time.

---

### Print Center - How to Print QR Code Labels

The Print Center is the central location for generating, managing, and printing QR Code labels in Cannavigia.

There are two ways to create QR Code labels:

- Directly from the Print Center (ideal for when you need to print multiple labels at once)
- From the record itself (for example, from a Plant Batch or Area)

Regardless of which method you use, all generated labels are managed through the Print Center.

 

#### **Generate QR Codes from the Print Center**

**Step 1 - Accessing the Print Center**

You can open the Print Center by either:

- - Navigating to **Facility → Print Center  
      ![](https://support.cannavigia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-16-2026-04-03-22-1760-PM.png?width=182&height=286&name=image-png-Jul-16-2026-04-03-22-1760-PM.png)**
    - Clicking the **Print Center** button in the top-right corner of the navigation bar.  
      ![](https://support.cannavigia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-16-2026-04-03-44-6647-PM.png?width=197&height=67&name=image-png-Jul-16-2026-04-03-44-6647-PM.png)

 

**Step 2 - Create a Print Selection**

Click **+ New Print Selection** (top-right corner of the page) to open the Print Center window.

![](https://support.cannavigia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-16-2026-04-07-05-9534-PM.png?width=190&height=57&name=image-png-Jul-16-2026-04-07-05-9534-PM.png)

 

**Step 3 - Select the QR Code Type**

Choose the type of QR Code you would like to generate.

Examples include the below (jump to Types of QR Codes to understand the recommended use for each):

![](https://support.cannavigia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-16-2026-04-08-00-7768-PM.png?width=313&height=359&name=image-png-Jul-16-2026-04-08-00-7768-PM.png)

 

**Step 4 - Search for Records**

Click "Search", after selecting the Type of QR Code to locate the records you want to print.  
![](https://support.cannavigia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-16-2026-04-12-33-0294-PM.png?width=566&height=124&name=image-png-Jul-16-2026-04-12-33-0294-PM.png)

You can optionally filter results by:

- - Creation date
    - Search term

Select the desired records and click **Add to Selection**.

The selected records will appear under **Your Selection**.

![](https://support.cannavigia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-16-2026-04-20-02-3293-PM.png?width=670&height=226&name=image-png-Jul-16-2026-04-20-02-3293-PM.png)

**Tip:** Hold **Shift** to select a range of consecutive records, or hold **Ctrl** (or **⌘ Command** on macOS) to manually select multiple non-consecutive records.

 

**Step 5 - Configure the Label**

Choose:

- - The label format
    - Which information fields should appear on the printed label

The available fields depend on the selected QR Code type.

Optionally, assign a name to your print selection

![](https://support.cannavigia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-16-2026-04-28-05-2552-PM.png?width=670&height=128&name=image-png-Jul-16-2026-04-28-05-2552-PM.png)

**Tip:** Assign a descriptive name to your print selection before printing. While optional, this is recommended when printing labels in bulk, as the Print Center keeps a history of all generated print selections. Meaningful names make it much easier to identify and reprint the correct label set later.

 

**Step 6 - Print**

Finally, click **Print Selection**. Cannavigia generates the labels and opens them in a new tab, where they can be:

- - Previewed
    - Downloaded as a PDF
    - Printed directly.

 

#### **Generate QR Codes Directly from a Record**

Many records include a **Print Label** action.

For example:

- - Plant Batches
    - Areas
    - Equipment
    - Projects
    - other supported objects

 

It may show up as a QR Code symbol:![](https://support.cannavigia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-16-2026-04-42-40-9767-PM.png?width=670&height=190&name=image-png-Jul-16-2026-04-42-40-9767-PM.png)  
![](https://support.cannavigia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-16-2026-05-17-17-1914-PM.png?width=670&height=129&name=image-png-Jul-16-2026-05-17-17-1914-PM.png)

Or though clicking on **Actions** and then **Print Labels:  
![](https://support.cannavigia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-16-2026-04-45-03-3446-PM.png?width=670&height=218&name=image-png-Jul-16-2026-04-45-03-3446-PM.png)![](https://support.cannavigia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-16-2026-05-19-02-3745-PM.png?width=670&height=224&name=image-png-Jul-16-2026-05-19-02-3745-PM.png)**

 

When selecting **Print QR Code / Label**, the chosen record is automatically added to the Print Center.

From there, simply:

1. 1. Choose the label format.
     2. Select the fields to include.
     3. Click **Print Selection**.

This is the fastest option when printing labels for a single record.

 

#### **Managing Generated Labels in the Print Center**

After generating labels, the Print Center allows you to:

- - Open labels as PDF files
    - Download labels
    - Print labels
    - Delete outdated print selections

![](https://support.cannavigia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-16-2026-04-51-44-8398-PM.png?width=669&height=277&name=image-png-Jul-16-2026-04-51-44-8398-PM.png)

Regularly removing unused labels helps keep the Print Center organized.
