Appian Community and Appian Academy are being upgraded. From July 24–August 3, the Appian Community will be in read-only mode. During this time, the site will be read-only and user registration will be disabled. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but a more secure, stable, and performant Community experience is coming soon!
The new Appian Community launches August 3, followed by Appian Academy on August 7. During the migration, Appian Community Edition, Appian Academy, Documentation, Certifications, Instructor-led Customer Training, Partner Sales Training & Accreditation, and Forum (for Appian Partners and Customers only) will remain available.
I have a requirement where the client would like to be able to scan barcodes using a handheld scanning machine and have them save in the Appian UI.
I have read the following documentation:
From the documentation, it seems that it is only possible to scan a barcode and show it on the Appian UI using a mobile device (smartphone).
Is there any way to achieve the same functionality using a handheld scanner, either Bluetooth or USB? The brand the client has is Symbol. For example: www.amazon.com/.../B00HYOPAJG

AFAIK a typical scanner just acts as a keyboard and "types" the scanned value. This should just work with a text field in Appian.
Hi Stefan,Thank you for the information. I guess I will just have to try it!
walkers0001- Were you able to achieve this?
I was not, but the requirements changed and I did not have to try. It might be possible! Let me know if you have end up implementing something like this.
