🤩 Has anything changed in the staging area or is this an entirely new button component for scanning? ---

The Scan Linear Barcode action looks new. A little bit of a quicker way to scan regular barcodes. ---

What are your plans with this Darren? You seem keen to get your hands on it 🤔 ---

Yes, very keen 🙂 Do you remember the fun and games I had with my [shift roster](https://community.glideapps.com/t/generating-displaying-a-monthly-shift-roster/21708) a while back? I’m now extending that same app to be able to “clock” the workers in as they arrive for each shift change, and then provide a summary of how many actually showed up to work that shift. At each shift change (twice a day), about 150 workers are involved, and they all arrive at a muster area at about the same time. So it gets quite hectic. The way it currently works is the deployment foreman has my app with all the workers that are rostered for that shift presented as an inline list. As each one arrives, he taps their name, then taps a button to set their status, and the name is removed from the list. It works, but it’s a bit clunky. So once a QR code scanner becomes available, my idea is: - Each worker will have the app, with a QR code on their profile page, embedded with their worker ID. - The foreman will have a version of the app with the QR code scanner enabled. - As each worker arrives, he will open the app and show his profile page, and the foreman will scan the code - Boom! Done. ---

Oh yeah I remember. This looks like a fantastic solution for that business, can’t wait to hear how it goes. Wishing you great success with this one. Been thinking about how to get the deep link url embedded automatically into a glide table so I can generate a deep link QR code, bit stumped with that one. ---

I recently added my employee app into an Adalo app. Figured wth, I need both functionalities might as well combine them. ---

Any chance you could program a standalone barcode reader to your glide app that people would just put their phone under to be scanned in vs having the supervisor stand there and manually scan? ---

Possibly. I have a few options. Also looking at the option of integrating with a thermal scanner with facial recognition as an alternative to the QR codes 😉 ---

Unfortunately, the Alert action is just a debug tool for staging. It’s not an action that will be released. It’s been there for well over a year. ---
