## QR Code Improvements

The QR code download option is available on the following screens in FCM:

- FCM Equipment Main Screen grid (legacy and new)
- FCM Equipment Details Page (legacy and new)
- FCM FLOC Main Screen grid

Now the URL that appears with the QR code displays the Equipment / FLOC ID instead of the name.![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/pic 1-072M29LQ.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-02T21%3A56%3A20Z&se=2026-11-02T22%3A56%3A20Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=oyDZVPpL6vKj12ZK3bw%2F9osGXrut5TXKmDhkRuVX3bU%3D)

In addition the QR code download option has been improved. Users now download a .png image with a transparent background instead of a .jpeg with a white background. This change was made because most users prefer to print the QR code or insert it into documents that don’t have a white background.
