Qrew LegendI can try to help if I better understand the ask.
If the Bar Code were actually a QR code, then you could have the code increment a counter when it was scanned, and then redirect to some destination URL? Is that what you are after, or do you simply want to increment a counter before revealing the traditional bar code?
Sorry. QR Code is what I should have said. That is the plan. To have the increment happen when the QR code is scanned and show the updated record after the edit is done.
Qrew LegendWell, a QR code can just be the display of a formula URL button. can you tell me if these users would be logged in to Quickbase? ie we need to deal with the permissions issue if we are updating records.
So you want to increment a counter field on a record and then display the record?
Users will not be logged into Quickbase. The ultimate goal is to track how many times the QR code was scanned.
Qrew LegendA suggestion then would be to make a child table to record scans. We would open up the child table to be open to Every On The Internet (EOTI) to be able to add records and allow the EOTI Role to view the -parent records - call these say Items.
Then to see how many times the item was scanned we just to a summary count of the #of children. Does that approach work for you?
