A common way of starting On Demand actions is creating and printing a QR Code. You can do this by copying the URL by clicking the clipboard icon next to your On-Demand action.
Paste the URL in a QR Generator of your choice, ensuring the prefix HTTPS:// is retained.
You can print this QR code and attach it to the physical asset. The operator can now scan this QR code with their phone to complete the pre-start checklist.
The list of on demand tasks will appear under Actions on that register item.
