Create a site page with URL parameters. Have the QR code go to that URL and include the ID in the url parameters.

On that page, capture whatever other info you need and have a button that initiates a process via startProcess.

So you are saying the QR it self would take the user to the form and also the ID should be captured?

Not sure if that can be done in one go. But how about having an additional scan field which will let the user to scan the QR code and get the ID. Is it something that can be acceptable? If yes, then a expression rule to scan the QR and get the ID from the parts of URL can be done.

Hello Sowvik Roy

I guess that should not be a problem. If you say you are showing a QR to scan and land on Appian page that would definetely be something do-able outside Appian. And you would need a interface which would collect the ID and User data in the form and on submit you would start a process and refresh the locals that collect the data.

I think few plugin's are there that helps you to generate a QR code and read a QR code Barcode and QR Code Utilities and Read QR from PDF go through the documentation once.
