@sebastiansolari Looking forward to Glide support QR Code and unlimit qty of scans per month for PRO plan. We are studies using barcode scanner function for goods delivery, talking about 200pcs order per day, which this is easy to reach the monthly limit. May I know Glide have any road map for above 2 suggestions? ---

Unclear why double entry occurs. You are not using a form in relation with the scanner? ---

Noā€¦I use a simple action (see screenshot) ā€¦result is always double entry of latest scan at beginning and ending of the inline listā€¦Next scan results in new double entry (at beginning and ending of the inline list) and penultimate entry will reduce to single entry and so onā€¦?! ![03369D86-1259-4753-93DC-F114BCCD6D05](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/e/8/e8f4044b41ae14a2783d191ddbe045a72e49774d.jpeg) ---

@Ray I think you are putting the scanned result into the table - possibly the first row - and then afterwards put the result to the end of the table by use of add row. I think you should put the scanned result in another table - and then add a new row to your existing table. Afterwards you clear the row in the other table ---

I spent my 4 hours to solve it šŸ™‚ First) You need to put a data example to sheet Second) You should make the scan data cell as personal usage. Than you can make relation with other tabs and collect datas. I used barcode creater Https APIā€™s and It provided me to create barcode for every row id in my glide. You can use it on every project. It is perfect. ---

Has anybody been able to make a reliable app using the barcode scanner? Are there any specific kind of barcodes that are read well by the scanner? We built the whole app for a client but the barcode scanner fails to work in a production app and it doesnā€™t allow the client to move beyond the first step itself. ---

Manan, for use cases that are heavily reliant on barcode scanning we do not recommend Glideā€™s standard scanner. Weā€™ve partnered with Dynamsoft and can easily integrate their scanner into an existing Glide app. You are able to purchase plans directly through them on their website, [Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK online store](https://www.dynamsoft.com/store/dynamsoft-barcode-reader/). Their scanner is much faster and has way more features, including QR code scanning. Before you purchase a plan please PM me so I can ensure you are on the appropriate plan. Adding the Dynamsoft scanner into an app requires engineering effort. Due to this we only offer this solution to Business and Enterprise plans. ---

How can I create barcodes?? ---

Thereā€™s lots of ways to create barcodes. There are barcode and qr code column types in glide. You can use something like quickchart. Thereā€™s barcode fonts. Thereā€™s several different third party solutions to create a barcode. The question is, what kind of information are you using to create the barcodes? Is it from data in your tables? Is it from another source? Where are you putting the barcodes? Are you displaying them in your app? Are you printing them to place on physical objects? How are you using the barcodes? ---

Hi Jeff! I do have a question regarding this new type of columns (barcode & QR). Iā€™ve created a Barcode Column with Unique identifier per person (guest) as a Ticket or Entrance to an Event. Now Iā€™m looking forward to have an event accreditation (check-in) using ā€œScan Codeā€ to scan those codes and set to ā€œtrueā€ the boolean column of ā€œchecked guestā€. The idea is to have a whole solution to upload guests lists and confirm attendees with codes. Thanks in advance.
