Agentry capture value from list view barcode scanner

[Marçal_Oliveras]

Hi,

I have a list view with "Software Scan Button" enabled and allowing filtering by ID field.

In a normal scenario where the scanned value corresponds to an ID in the list this is working properly, but in some cases I have some values that I must treat before filtering because some leading numbers must be removed. So I was thinking in using the "No match action" to do that and then use a "List Selection Step". But the problem is that I don't know how to access to the scanned value to use it in this list selection step rule.

Could you please help me with that?

*I'm using iPad and with the latest versions of Agentry plugin and client.

There is a rule term LASTSCANVALUE that you can use to get the scan value and then perform your manipulations on it.
