Associate an object with a dashboard in Splunk AR with asset tags

Register an asset and associate it with a Splunk dashboard or AR workspace using Splunk AR. Users can scan an asset tag with their mobile device and view the associated data. You can register assets with barcodes in the Splunk AR mobile app. In the Splunk App for AR, you can register groups of assets and existing barcodes, or get Splunk-generated QR codes or NFC tags.

To get QR codes and NFC tags and register groups of assets in the Splunk App for AR, See Associate objects with dashboards in the Splunk App for AR with asset tags.

To learn more about asset tags, see Associate objects with dashboards in the Splunk App for AR with asset tags in the Install and Use The Splunk App for AR manual.
