Hi!
I’m finishing up an app that’s supposed to be tried out and I made it so that in the upper search bar the data is scannable with a barcode.
The app already shows all data in the app and I would like it to only show when a barcode is scanned or a name is searched for example, else it’s supposed to not show the data.
How can this be done? Thank you!

It’s not clear what “it” refers to here. What is it that you want made visible when a barcode is scanned?
Thanks @WillowMobileSystems I’ll try to explain it more clearly.
My UX shows the data in Deck view. It shows all data, but I would like to see no data untill the search field on top of the screen is used to scan a barcode. I think the same mechanism would apply to searching manually for a name instad of scanning a barcode in this case.
I know I’ve seen it somewhere, but I cannot find where anymore…

I am not aware of any way to tie a view to Search/Filter field such that the view is blank until criteria is entered.
The only way I can think that such a feature could be possible is if you were to build your own Search capability within the app. For example, have a button named “Search” that when clicked opens a custom Form allowing entry of search criteria. Upon Save of that Form, then navigate to a filtered view that has applied the entered search criteria and shows only the matching rows.
