I can’t seem to find where to retrieve the barcode information once scanned. I have configured an action from a button and tried an array of combinations for object members. Im positive I am just not understanding how to do this. Thanks in Advance (Loving it so far)

Indeed, barcode scanning has now been migrated to a more mature system (as well as nfc ndef, with more sensors/data to follow shortly). Documentation is going to catch up, but until then, here’s the gist: TLDR: configure action to enable data collection write Perspective session event handling s…

something more like, as you mentioned, the View Events... or similar... onLoad scan barcode, onInput set last barcode == text of specific label, trigger barcode listen again, onInput set last barcode == text of next specific label, and so on... [image] Cody Mallonee: Yes, his example is spot-o…

Would it be possible to do something where the onStartup event sets some property to the current datetime and then have a component in the view that checks the current datetime against this property? After 1-2 seconds initiate the Scan Barcode Action in the View? Basically the same functionality a…

Long-term, nearly anything is possible, however, an important part of your question is that you’re using a script to initiate barcode scan; there’s no scripting API for that functionality at this time. If our solution is to only add the appropriate scripting calls (system.perspective.scanBarcode() …
