Barcode Reader to Populate DataCard

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6

Noob here... I've created an App from Canvas using an MS List. I want to use the Barcode Reader to populate a DataCardValue in my form so users don't have to hand type. Then submit the form to update my List. I was able to get the Barcode Reader to work and populate Text Label. I cannot figure out how to get the output of the Barcode Reader ("SCAN") to populate the IDENTIFIER field shown in the snapshot. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi @Velanator ,

     

    In the default property of the input field/ datacardvalue field

    Add the control and its value 

    BarcodeReader.Value
    //OR
    First(BarcodeReader.Barcodes).Value

     

    Hope this helps

    Thank you, @Ethan_R !!!

    First(BarcodeReader1.Barcodes).Value did the trick. 

    I really appreciate the help on this.

     

    Do you know how to clear the BarcodeReader value after the form has been submitted?

    Hi @Velanator ,

     

    You can see the Control Documentation here so you get higher insights about the control.

    Also, you can reset your Text control with a button click or clear data if used in variable

     

    Hope that helps
