Hello there, I’m trying to build an app for my restaurant, where each table will have a qr-code. I would like to identify the table that read the qr-code.  
I thought it was possible to create a parameter in my static link…  
`link.com/?table=1`  
but as the user navigates the app, the link changes.  
How can I pass a parameter through the link and the app save this information somewhere in user or order?  
Or is there any other alternative that could work?

Thank you.

You could just navigate to the screen for that table, and make a QR code based in that url.

If you want to go the query parameter route, this should be helpful.

There are several of variations you can do using this methodology (eg. use a form screen over a form container, create QR codes…

You could try adding a form container and set the default value of a text entry component with get part of url to a user specific column. Then take text entry component out of the form container and finally delete form container.

Just make sure source of form container is same as screen.

You should be left with a user specific column that automatically sets itself with the parameter from the url.

@Jeff_Hager have you tried it?

No, I haven’t had a chance to try your method yet. Haven’t had a good use case in my own projects yet, but I gotta keep it in mind. I have your previous post bookmarked though. I think you should add mention of it to @Robert_Petitto’s post. Or convince him to make a video on it. 😉
