How to Attach a QR Tag to Your Asset

Attaching a QR tag to your asset is what makes MyTags work. Once attached, anyone who scans the tag will see your asset's information and be able to contact you.

Prerequisites

  • You must have created at least one Asset.

  • You must have a QR Tag (physical or digital).

The easiest way to attach a tag is to scan it directly from the asset page.

  1. Navigate to the Assets page and click on the asset you want to tag.

  2. In the asset details view, scroll down to the Attached Tags section.

  3. Click the Scan QR Tag button (QR code icon).

  4. If asked, grant camera permissions to your browser.

  5. Point your camera at the QR tag.

  6. The system will automatically detect the tag and link it to your asset.

Method 2: From the Tags Page

If you have digital tags or can't scan right now:

  1. Navigate to the Tags page.

  2. Find an unattached tag in your list (look for "No Asset" or use the filter).

  3. Click the Attach Asset button on the tag card.

  4. Select the asset you want to link from the dropdown list.

  5. Click Confirm.

How to Detach a Tag

If you want to move a tag to a different asset:

  1. Go to the Asset Details page.

  2. Find the tag in the Attached Tags list.

  3. Click the menu button (three dots) next to the tag.

  4. Select Detach Tag.

  5. Confirm that you want to remove the link.

Warning: Once detached, scanning the tag will no longer show your asset's information until you attach it to something else.

Common Issues

Problem: "Camera permission denied"

Solution: Check your browser settings and ensure you've allowed MyTags to access your camera.

Problem: "Tag already attached"

Solution: A tag can only be linked to one asset at a time. You must detach it from the old asset before attaching it to a new one.
