Search/Scan barcode function within dynamic view or work app

Addition of the scan function to search a specific number within a work app could provide a more efficient search function for work apps that display a lot of data. For example, for our tool inventory we use a unique tool number for each item of tooling in our inventory. The user searches the specific tool to then "issue" the tool to a specific location. Searching is possible by filter settings and typing which works ok, albeit a little clunky when using a mobile device.

Note: To issue tooling we use a workapp generated from a dynamic view of our tool store inventory.

If a Barcode were generated with the specific unique tool ID number and a scan barcode function were available, the user could scan the barcode which would filter the information within the work app - similar to what would happen when using tool number to manually filter the data.

Users would:

  1. Open the work app.
  2. Select the scan function
  3. Scan barcode
  4. Search result would filter to display the row data linked to that unique number only
  5. User would issue the tool and initiate normal sheet automated workflows.

Example Tool inventory Data

Manual search for tool number

Search Result

User can issue tool.

What is the Dream??

Replace this manual search/filter with a scan to search/filter to allow for the scanning of a barcode that reflects information within a specific cell, i.e. "Tool Number" within the workapp.
