Hey @Raahul2 - There is no native capability for generating QR codes in ServiceNow. I'm sure folks have put together custom solutions to accomplish this with some effort. For a plug-and-play solution, Yansa Labs has a Barcode & QR Code Generator app available on the ServiceNow Store. It includes a Service Portal widget that can be used to render a QR Code for mobile use on the app.

OOB there is no such functionality but here is what I have done for learning in past, you can follow the same.

 

  1. Google javascript code to generate QR code or create your QR code.
  2. Create a widget and show the QR code in HTML part of the widget.
  3. Create a portal page and add the widget in step 2 to that page and try the page, it will show you the QR.
  4. Now if you are aware we can show portal pages in now mobile using /mesp?id-page_id created in step 3.
  5. Open this page through applet launcher (through mobile app builder).
