QR codes can be used to connect items in the real world directly to relevant Power BI content. When you scan a QR code that was created for a Power BI report or dashboard tile, that report or tile opens directly - you don't have to navigate to it or search for it.
Say someone in your organization created a QR code for a report that contains information about the conference rooms in your workplace and posted it outside the conference rooms. Using the camera in the Power BI app, you can scan the QR code to open the report. If you don't have permissions to view the report, you can request access directly from the app.
The Power BI mobile app supports QR codes with URL query parameters. If the QR code for a report includes such parameters, the report opens filtered according to those parameters.
Scan a Power BI QR code on your mobile device with the Power BI scanner
On the app header, tap the camera icon.
If your camera isn't enabled for the app, you need to allow the Power BI app to use the camera. This is a one-time operation.
When the scanner opens, point it at the Power BI QR code.
The report or tile opens directly. If you have an iOS device and are scanning a QR code for a tile, the tile doesn't open directly, but rather appears to float over the background in augmented reality. Tap the floating tile to open it in focus mode.
Scan a QR code from an external scanner on your mobile device
- From any scanner installed on your mobile device, point the scanner at the relevant Power BI QR code to immediately open the associated report or tile.
- If the Power BI app isn't installed on your device, you're redirected to the Apple App Store (iOS) or to Google Play (Android) to download and install the app on your mobile device.
