QR Codes are images which, when scanned, can link to a specific URL. In Kahua, they can be linked to locations in a project. They can be used in the Punch Lists application to associate new punch list items to the location associated with a scanned QR code, or filter existing punch list items by the location associated with a scanned QR code. For more information on using QR codes in the Punch Lists application, refer to Using QR Codes in the Punch List application.
