Use Barcode Scanning In Your Digital Forms

Barcode Scanning helps you work faster and reduce human error

Barcode Scanning can help your team complete their forms faster and accurately collect specific information. You can use Barcode Scanning within your digital forms in the following ways:

• Auto-Populate corresponding form fields
  Barcode Scanning can be used to instantly populate fields with information pulled from a DataSource. For example, your form might have fields for a customer’s name, business address, and phone number. When a barcode is scanned, these fields can be automatically filled in. 

• Filter options presented to users
  Barcode Scanning can also be used to filter drop down options presented to a user, based on the scanned value. For example, imagine you are completing a work order where you must select specific machine parts from a number of drop down fields. Utilizing Barcode Scanning, a machine-specific barcode can be scanned to instantly filter each drop down to only display parts relevant to that machine. 

There are many additional benefits of adding Barcode Scanning to your digital forms, including: 

• Expedited form completion
  With Barcode Scanning, data can be instantly populated within form fields, removing the need to handwrite redundant information – saving your team significant time whenever they complete a form. 

• Improved data integrity
  Manually entering information can result in incorrect and inconsistent data. Barcode Scanning reduces opportunity for human error by instantly populating fields with highly accurate information and eliminating the need to rekey data from paper forms into digital systems (a practice prone to frequent mistakes).
