Scan and Show

[pricetag]

Hello, im new with AppSheet and i need some Starting Help.
I want to first create an App where you just scan a Barcode (with scanner - no Camera) ex. in the upper half.
 The half  below shows the Data behind de Barcode (Price, Details etc.)
It should act like i can continuously scan Barcodes and only the half below change depening on Barcode.
Tomorrow i will investigate more but maybe you have some starting advice.

Thank you a lot.

i can't access your sample just by this link , i need an access to the "backend" 

I have just created this very simple app , you can tweak it much more to your needs. 
if this is what you looking for, you can message me your email address , then you can copy the app and adjust it as you like.

You can use the dashboard function 
1st view as a form with only the scan function 
2nd view the details view of the scanned item.

and turn on the option 

Interactive mode

Thanks!

Hello, I tried to do this - but it
is only showing the option to add the view "Receiving_detail" 

but not my barcode scanner.

I have it set up where I see the items receiving, and then I click + then the barcode auto opens scanner then saves. Which I thought was great.
However my dad wanted to see the details before "saving" to make sure it has the right unique serial number attached to the product. 

what we start with

Add product (the + ) 

(URL Removed by Staff)

but now dad wants to see details once the item is scanned on this page of barcode scanner before submiting.

Cant the scanner form in dashboard view. Is this doable? How? tHANKS!

[Hussein_Osseily]

Appsheet doesn't support scanning with a scanner though, strictly with the lobile version using the camera of your smartphone

[pricetag]

That would be Fine,
Scanner will act like a keyboard (ie Bluetooth Scanner)
Im despretly looking for an app like that. But all apps offert scan TO
Excel or somthing like that.
Does anybody know what i am looking for?

It is like a price verifier what you are trying to accomplish.

Try out Hussein_Osseily suggestion.

Have developed apps to for reading barcodes for inventory propose. Had a form view where the barcode is read with autosave and then it takes you to new view with the data corresponding to the barcode.

Now i begin wondering about implement the actual picture.

I have a drive folder with all the pictures (over 15000) of the products.
So i put that folder in the data area.
With a virtual column i try to implement the picure. Some how it will not work.
The formula for it is somthing like these in diffrent variants. like this:

or with Path and barcode strings

"https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id="&Wawibilder[_ID]

Show More

"DECOFINDER/Pricetag/Wawibilder/"&[EAN/Barcode]&"-1.jpg"

Show More

Wawibilder[Path]&Wawibilder[File]

How or even could i "connent" my drives pictures with the app?

thank you

ps. sync thaks a lot of time (sure by the shier amount of files) 
-but can this even be optimized?

Update:
now working with path string !

Since i dont want to add rows to data - can i hide the floating "+" and "edit" buttons

And would it be even possible to open the PopUp for found Articel automaticly? So User dont have do select the found Item.

Thanks a lot for help, falling in love with AppSheet! 😇

To hide the (+) and edit 

go to the Data / Table / etikete 

and make the table read only 

[Hussein_Osseily]

To open the article automatically you can set the form to auto save , creat an action to go to a filtered view , and make the action trigger once the form is saved 

[pricetag]

everything from here:
 creat an action to go to a filtered view , and make the action trigger once the form is saved 

i dont understand clearly.
Add action in search history and go to another view in this app?

Trigger is then: if condition is true?

[xeonavn]

Do this app already working?
