Hello!

    hi @Larussa Ok.

     

    On the scan button add the following code

    //Lets get the data from the scanner, you will have Set(_Scanned,BarcodeSanner1.Value)
    Set(_Scanned,"R1,R2,R3,R4,R5,R6,R7,R8,R9,R10,R11,R12,R13,R14");
    //lets split the barcode string so we can assign it to the datacards
    ClearCollect(_ScannedArray,ForAll(Split(_Scanned,","),{Scanned: Result}))

    Above unlock the datacard above and set the default of the card as

    col1 default = First(_ScannedArray).Scanned

    Col2 = Last(FirstN(_ScannedArray,2)).Scanned

    Col3 = Last(FirstN(_ScannedArray,3)).Scanned

    Col4 = Last(FirstN(_ScannedArray,4)).Scanned

    Col5 = Last(FirstN(_ScannedArray,5)).Scanned

    Col6 = Last(_ScannedArray).Scanned

     

    On the Save button OnClick = SubmitForm(YourForm);
    NewForm(YourForm)

     

    In SharePoint

    That should do it for you

    Hi @rubin_boer 

    I confess that I have a lot of difficulty with this. I apologize. I need to do it in a form so that I can save this scanned information.

    What is missing for the scanned information to be inserted in the form?I did like this.

    But the screen goes blank

    Hi @Larussa i used a gallery that way i don't need to create all the text boxes. you can create a form and set the each DataCardValue to the responding Value in the collection. The form may be more work but nothing stopping you to do it that way.

    hi @Larussa 

     

    On the barcode scanner to a variable, for e.g.

    OnSelect = ClearCollect(_BarCode,Split(BarcodeScanner1.Value,",")) assuming your barcode reads something like "R1,R2,R3,R4,R5,R6,R7,R8,R9,R10,R11,R12,R13,R14".

     

    Add a Gallery and set its Items = _BarCode and its Wrap Count to 2.

    Add a textbox to the gallery and set the Default = ThisItem.Result

     

    This is what you will get
