I have a use case where the goal is to very quickly scan bar codes into a Quick Base table.  The desired workflow is to be sitting on an Add Record form and have the scan also cause the form to save and refresh into the Save and Add Another page, without the user having to click the save button.

Does anyone have a native or non native way to do this?

Hi Mark,

So the desired behavior would be you would hit 'Add Record' and then scan a barcode, it would cause the form to save and go to add another, then you could just repeat a number of times until you had scanned all the barcodes you had in front of you and end up with Item 1, Item 3, Item 3 records?

I know this thread is really old but it is the only one I can find online to help me do the exact same thing.  I can't find the app used anymore and was wondering if anyone has come up with any other solution for activating a barcode scan on mobile quickly and 1 or 0 taps.
