QR Code Scanner in Edit Form

Posted on by EndyCZ

Hello,

I have a list in SharePoint. This list contains a couple of field like name, date and user and a textfield SerialNumber. My goal is to give user the option to view the list using galery and then the posibility to edit records using standad EditForm. Now specifically for the textfield Serial Number I would like to give the option to type it manualy OR using a QR Code Scanner.

How can I configure the button so that when the onScan function is performed, then it will update the input field. And Then if user is finished. He will click confirm button and update the record in MS List in Sharepoint.

Thanks for any help.

Hi @EndyCZ ,

Try setting the Default property of the DataCardValue to:

Coalesce(QRScanner.Value, Parent.Default)

Then in the OnScan property of the QR scanner, insert:

Reset(DataCardValue)

Like this, when you scan, the value in the form will update.

To prevent this solution from affecting other items that may be created/edited afterwards, insert Reset functions for the QRScanner in the appropriate places. Where those places are depends on your app, so I can't tell.

Maybe one thing. I had to use ThisItem instead of Parent.Default but this works like a charm.

Coalesce(BarcodeScanner1.Value, ThisItem.'Serial Number')
