Hi there good people, Would it be possible to have a QR code scanner integrated in the app? I would use it to pair my clients with a physical product they receive at the point of sale and to scan receipts of their purchase. I argue that It would be very useful in general to have the ability to allow users to enter data into the sheet by scanning a QR code. It will allow users to enter a lot of prefabricated data into the sheet, do authentication at the point of sale and allow for many many other use cases. Who else would see a use for this? Ramon ---

I agree. The ability to 1) generate a QR Code with encoded info (read from a google sheet), and 2) the ability to scan that code and write the encoded info (along with basic transactional data of date/time scanned, geolocation of scan, etc.) to another tab within the google sheet would be a very, very, VERY useful function that could allow more sophisticated apps to be built. ---

Heya, Here is a sheet to generate QR Codes : [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/1/d/1hBMoc-FmAXf4z3LOGez8hnXg\_S6rbCnCDVNzfQOhlPc/template/preview?usp=drive\_web](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/1/d/1hBMoc-FmAXf4z3LOGez8hnXg_S6rbCnCDVNzfQOhlPc/template/preview?usp=drive_web) They could scan the QR that links to a google form they could populate the form with their Glideapp Email, Product ID etc and submit. (you could dig around about pre-populating a form, this would be best case scenario) ---

Hi Phil, Thank you for this sheet! This would indeed be great to have user generated (or otherwise) data be shown in the app as a QR code to be scanned later but for many applications this is half the issue. I was talking about having a camera like feature inside glide that allows to scan the QR from within the app to import data. You gave a great solution for a way to output a QR from within glide but not a way to import a QR code inside the app. Great sheet though… thank you again for that Ramon ---

Some people have already asked for this feature some time ago. I hope it is on the list of upcoming implementations ([see here](https://spectrum.chat/glideapps/feature-requests/scan-qr-bar-code-code-to-for-entries-text-number-etc~bc2ded0f-b442-44b5-9939-0013e0887fa5)) ---

City adventures, hiking routes with information points, warehouse internal tools… there could be many use cases for this (too 😃). ---

wow! Nice AND does this mean glideapps can be set to display full width on desktop now? At least the sign in/pinc ode screen does … would be nice if the entire app could follow suit. ---

Hi Phil Hello from Rome… I used the formula to generate a qr code inside the sheet and is working fine but I can not use it in glide cos’ glide need a url to show image …any suggestion ? =if(isblank(I3), “”, image(“[https://image-charts.com/chart?chs=150x150&cht=qr&chl=](https://image-charts.com/chart?chs=150x150&cht=qr&chl=)”&I3)) Thank you ---

@valerio remove the ‘image’ part of the formula, so it’s just the url. You don’t want to render the image in the sheet. You just want to show the url. ---
