I am needing to scan a pallet full of barcodes into an inventory system .. does anyone else have experience with doing this using the mobile app? So far, I can only figure out a 3-tap minimum solution of tapping into the field, tapping the barcode button, then tapping save / next. With 300 barcodes to scan, per pallet .. I'm thinking I might just be better off buying a barcode scanner.------------------------------Malcolm McDonald------------------------------

I believe that the last pipelines demo call I attended with QuickBase staff they demonstrated an amazing method of using an inexpensive barcode scanner handle attached to an iPhone / Android phone and they were able to do multiple scans going into a big Text field. Then the user would hit enter and I think the demo of the pipeline was to iterate over those records and create individual records. I will bet that was recorded and maybe someone here remembers who did that pipelines demo. If you can get hold them them they could have some ideas for you. If I recall correctly they might've needed to have a bit of crazy code to do that parsing but somebody has already thought this through.------------------------------Mark Shnier (Your Quickbase Coach)mark.shnier@gmail.com------------------------------

Unfortunately, I think it is going to be a 3 tap minimum. In order to do bulk bar code scanning, then I think that you're going to want to buy a barcode scanner, and then use it to input into a spreadsheet, and then bulk upload the barcode data into the table.------------------------------John Crosland------------------------------

The organizer of that Zoom call a couple of weeks ago was was Matthew Birsch. So I would guess his email address is mbirsch@quickbase.com. It was also probably recorded.------------------------------Mark Shnier (Your Quickbase Coach)mark.shnier@gmail.com------------------------------
