Launch edit screen after scanning barcode

Posted on by Koketso1

Hi Amazing folks!

I have a canvas app that stores information on a SharePoint list. (that works)

I have a scan button that patches barcodes to the serial column on that SharePoint list. (that works)

problem is, after scanning the barcode, it goes directly to the list not allowing me to first edit (put in other fields) with the following code:

Patch('inventory SP TEST', {Serial: BarcodeScanner1.Value, 'Who Scanned': User().FullName, 'When Scanned': Now()})

How do I get the edit screen to launch after scanning a barcode, so that the app launches the edit screen for me to input other fields before storing in SharePoint?

Scan is just a button, instead of telling the OnSelect to patch you can use it to navigate instead, and put the patching formula on a button in the edit screen. The BardcodeScanner1.Value will still be stored in the scanner control if you switch screen.

If you want to patch your list with the scan time rather than the time when its patched, you should create a variable on the OnSelect of the scan button to use for 'When Scanned' on the patch function.

I suggest you insert Textbox on your screen, then in the Default property:

Textbox1: BarcodeScanner1.Value

Thant gives you an opportunity to edit.

After edit:

Insert a Button with OnSelect property:

Patch('inventory SP TEST', {Serial: Value(Textbox1.Text), 'Who Scanned': User().FullName, 'When Scanned': Now()})

Hi Eka, Sure.

1 - I have a canvas app that stores information onto a sharepoint list.
2- I have a scan button that launches the camera to scan barcode/qr code and writes it to the list on the serial column OnScan - Patch('inventory SP TEST', {Serial: BarcodeScanner1.Value, 'Who Scanned': User().FullName, 'When Scanned': Now()})
3- when running the app on my mobile, the scan button opens the camera, scans the barcode/qr code and then it CLOSES.. then I have to LOOK for the scanned entry on the app, click on it and then edit..
4- what I want is : when I click on the scan button, it should scan the barcode and then open the edit screen where the serial will already be populated so that I put in the other details of the user such as Title, form factor , comments

Am not sure of your scan formula but try On the scan button:

Set(varScanNo, BarcodeScanner1.Value);Navigate(EditScreen); EditForm(YourFormName)

Then in the Default of the Textbox which receives the scan: varScanNo

Then you can edit and use either Patch or SubmitForm(YourFormName)

Hi @eka24 ,

Thanks!, I still used the patch, and added the Navigate function.

Patch('inventory SP TEST',Navigate(EditScreen1);{Serial: BarcodeScanner1.Value, 'Who Scanned': User().FullName, 'When Scanned': Now()})
