Barcode Reader in Model Driven App

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 1,168

Hi,

 

Is it possible to use the Power App barcode reader on a Model Driven App?

 

Consider a column that is a lookup but instead of typing or tapping on magnifying glass, I just want to scan a barcode and the value is then populated.

 

Thank in advance

 

Todd

    Hello @Tango , Usually we use MDA for desktop/Laptop even though you add Barcode scanner it won’t open.
