Zoho Creator has introduced a new feature to make it easier for you to collect and check the information entered through forms. QR code and barcode scanning in Zoho Creator opens up a whole new set of opportunities to benefit your business.
Here are a few scenarios where this new feature might come in handy:
Inventory has to be updated after every purchase or sale. By barcoding the items in the warehouse, you can manage your inventory with ease. With Zoho Creator, the purchase team can be notified automatically when inventory reaches its reorder threshold.
Sending a personalized ID to every attendee of an event can be time consuming. By printing a QR code with every ticket, the attendee’s details are scanned through the code and an ID can be issued on the spot.
Managing the renewal system in a library is a challenging task. Having a QR code or barcode printed on every book makes renewals simpler. QR codes can also be used to link the books to related electronic resources.
Zoho Creator’s new ability to read codes lets you do all these things and more in your applications.
To scan QR or barcodes in Zoho Creator, follow these 3 simple steps. To fetch product information into another Form such as Sales or Entrances copy the script on the form field you would be scanning the barcode.
//Fetch Inventory data
barc = Inventory[Barcode == input.ProductID];
Price=barc.Price;
Product_Name=barc.Name;
