Scan barcodes on the iPad

[LennartBerger]

When scanning barcodes or data matrix codes in order to fill in a given checklist on the iPad, it is possible to scan it and then store it in a text field.

Adding the response type “Barcode / Data Matrix-Code” would enhance the workflow when filling out checklists. Possible responses to this response type are:

• Scan
• Not possible
• n/a

where “Not possible” and “n/a” might trigger a new issue.

Hello Lennart,

I have recently been made aware of your question. I will be reaching out to you by email to resolve your question. An update will be posted here once our issue is resolved.

Hello Lennart and Autodesk Community,

I am contacting you in regards to your idea of scanning barcodes or data matrix codes in order to fill in a given checklist on the iPad, and the  possibility  to scan it and then store it in a text field.  At this time, the BIM360 Field App does not provide this feature. I suggest that you check the BIM 360 Ideas site to see if anyone else has posted a similar Idea. If there is a similar Idea, “Vote Up” the idea and leave a feedback to help us to better make a selection on what ideas to implement.

If no one has submitted an Idea for this feature, click on the “Submit an Idea” to create a new one. I would like to highlight that it is important for us to understand the reason of their request, instead of exact specifications and blueprints for how to build it. We encourage you to tell us about all your ideas but in order to efficiently catalog and potentially implement them, we ask you to submit each idea separately. If your idea is similar to another but substantively different, you should reference the previous idea and point out the differences to avoid confusion.

Our development teams review frequently the feedback and ideas received, and categorize them in several statuses that customers can always see:

Gathering Support Status for all newly submitted ideas

Under Review Idea being reviewed

Comments Requested More information is requested to the customer before making a decision

Solution Provided Turns out this idea already has a solution

Accepted The idea has been added to the products feature requests

Implemented The idea has been developed and added to the product!

Future Consideration The idea is not being considered at this time, but will be reviewed for future inclusion into our product road map at a later date

Duplicate Another similar idea has already been posted

And, finally review the ideas of others and “Up Vote” and comment on them when applies. This action can help us to better make a selection on what ideas to implement but also can help them to know more about the experiences of other customers.

Best Regards,
