input data from scanning a list of barcodes

[analogue_alec]

Hello,

I'm new but wondering if this is possible?...

We are creating a database with each record having a unique barcode and a 'status' field.

We'd like to update the 'status' field of multiple records at once by scanning the barcodes into a list.

Whats the simplest of creating the rules to find and update the records from the list?

Thanks.

A little late, perhaps, but this is doable using an AppGini custom page. Look here:

The key thing is that this will load the database and all of the AppGini data handling functions.

Your custom page would:

1. Open and read your list
2. Iterate through the list
3. Use the AppGini sql() function to update records
