Hi,
Yes, it's possible to build an application in Power Apps that allows drivers to scan a barcode which then automatically fills in a form with data associated with that barcode. Here's a high-level approach:
Barcode Setup: Ensure that each barcode uniquely identifies a car and is associated with the car's data in ListA.
Power Apps Setup:
Use the Barcode scanner control to scan the barcode.
After scanning, use the barcode value to look up the corresponding car data in ListA.
Data Retrieval:
Perform a Lookup function in Power Apps to retrieve the car brand and license based on the scanned barcode value.
Form Pre-filling:
Pre-fill the form on the screen with the data obtained from ListA.
ListB Entry:
When the form is submitted, create a new entry in ListB with the check-in date and the data from ListA.
In Power Apps, the formula to retrieve and pre-fill the data might look something like this:
// On the Barcode Scanner's OnScan property
If(
!IsBlank(BarcodeScanner1.Value),
Navigate('FormScreen', ScreenTransition.None)
);
// On the 'FormScreen's OnVisible property to prefill data
Set(
SelectedCar,
LookUp(ListA, Barcode = BarcodeScanner1.Value)
);
// Use SelectedCar.Brand and SelectedCar.License to prefill form data
Then, bind the form fields to SelectedCar.Brand and SelectedCar.License to pre-fill the data.
Please adapt the code to fit the actual names of your controls and data fields.
