I am assuming not, as it appears an attached scanner goes to a single field before confirmation in the cloud.

Please confirm or deny. Thanks.

Hi there,

You mean physical hardware scanners and using the barcode scanner add-on?

If so, then no, but there is no ‘cloud’ as such here though.

The barcode scanners basically act as keyboards so when you scan a code it passes it to the barcode field, some scanners can automatically submit the form on scan, others not.

Having multiple scanners connected to a single PC would be like having 2 keyboards trying to type in 2 fields at the same time so I’m not sure how that would work.

Can you not use the mobile apps? If you need multiple scans you can use as many mobile devices with the app as you want.
