We have a survey with barcode field that users can either scan a barcode or manually enter the information. Is it possible to tell when a sample was entered manually as opposed to via a scanned barcode in Survey123?
Hi. If you have a single barcode question, there is no way you can tell if the data in it comes from the barcode scanner or manual input.
However, you could do this:
If the user scans the barcode, the text question will get data from the barcode. The barcode question will ALSO have the barcode data in it. That's how you can tell. If the user does not scan the barcode, manual entry will be needed and the barcode question will have no data.
Attaching an example for more clarity.
Thank you so much, this is exactly what we needed.
