Hey Glide community!

I am seeking some guidance on a current application that I am building.

Context: I am building an app in which users will need to check-in (ideally this would be via QR code or something along those lines).

The ideal state would be that:

1. User shows QR code
2. Admin scans QR code
3. Admin sees a screen of the user with some useful data (name, ID, status)
4. User gets a registered visit with a timestamp OR just a +1 in a given column (maybe a column called # of visits)

Ideally I would like to do this without any integration because I can see how many updates this would consume jaja 😅

Any recommendations are super helpful - thanks so much!

A version of this would be my recommendation:

In this video, learn how allow users to scan a QR code to prepopulate a form screen using: point_right A helper table point_right A template column point_right Get Part of URL columns point_right Form container I’ve used this method to create scavenger hunt activities, inventory apps, onboarding functionality, and time card systems. There are several of variations you can do using this methodology (eg. use a form screen over a form container, create QR codes…

Instead of populating a form screen, it would populate a hidden tab perhaps.
