We have a workflow need to capture an ID (from a USB connected scanner) while the user is interacting with a workflow form.

 

Has anyone thought/tried to do this?

Hi ​@TomBnm,

I haven’t tried this, but one thing to consider is the type of scanner.
If it’s a Human Interface Device scanner (HID), it should work in any text field on the form.
If it’s a TWAIN or another image scanner, you may need to create your own custom plugin to interface with the device drivers.
