QR Code to SharePoint with auto populated fields

Copper Contributor

Hello everyone, 

 

I am pretty new to SharePoint and its functionality, and am trying to create a QR code that has the ability to work in this order:

 

1. User scans the QR code with embedded URL,

2. URL takes user to SharePoint List submissions page,

3. Embedded data in URL auto fills a lookup field based on what the QR code is attached to.

 

In this particular instance, I am trying to fix QR codes to assets, when there is an issue with an asset, all the user will have to do is scan the QR code and the asset will automatically fill in the correct lookup field. Sounds simple enough right?

 

I've done some digging online and have found a couple of things to be obvious, 

 

1. You will have to add a ?fieldname="asset", to the end of the URL,

2. You will have to create some kind of script to tell the lookup column to look for the URL data.

 

I have tried using java-scripts found online and have changed ID names etc. for my field ID's and pasted them into the formatting box in the column settings, but alas, to no success. (I am using SharePoint 365 and I'm not sure if this even supports JS) 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have been looking for a solution to this for some time!

 

Thanks!
