QR Code Function in the App

QR Code Function in the App

Hi,

I would like to have a QR Reader in the Zoho Forms App to open a Form which could then use the Pre-Filled Field Aliases functionality the same as the Online Web.

So offline the Forms can still use Pre-defined information/data via the QR Code to pre-fill fields and make choices showing/hiding parts of the form.

So a separate ERP/CRM system can generate a dynamic QR Code with the Form and the Pre-Fill data, then someone can scan that even offline and open the app and use the data.

Thanks

Dan
