Hi,
I am stumped. I would like for my app to be able to scan a QR code and be taken to an existing row in the same table automagically. As of now, I have been able to successfully create a LINKTOFORM action that will take me to a prefilled form, but that creates another entry. I do not mind creating another table to achieve the desired results if that what it takes, but ideally, I would like to scan a QR code and it take me to the existing row within the same table. Is this possible?
*The QR code relates to a referenced column. Not sure if that matters?
Thanks!
You can scan from the search bar. Otherwise yes, you need a new table. The scanned data needs to be saved in order to act upon it in any way.

Yes, thank you for confirmation. That is exactly what I did. I also found this post to be quite helpful. The search bar is not as effective since after scanning the row must be chosen. I created a “Scan” table and made a LINKTOROW action that was able to pull up the row from the detail view type in a reference view. Works like a charm. Now I can view the row in the table I want from a scan in detail view and edit any values there.
