Shane you are amazing was looking for this for 2 years and you are the first to show how it works, I am an expert in NFC and have my own company selling NFC
This is amazing! Was wondering if you can point me to any resource.. I'm looking to make a bulk entry form that would allow a user to submit a single form but with multiple sub-forms. i.e. The user submits info to HR for 10 new employees in one shot, instead of submitting the form 10 times. I guess it would need a repeater row, but the fields have to be dropdowns so we can assign the status, classification, region, etc. for each employee. Do you have a video on something like this?
th-cam.com/video/xgznk4XlPCo/w-d-xo.html I show repeating tables in great details in this series and you are correct, that is exactly what you need to do. :)
Hi Shane, after setting the output of the Read NFC function to my variable, I cant seem to display the variable as a text. The only options I have for the variable are ".identifer" and ".NDEFRecords" Any insights ?
Hello Shane, thank you for the fantastic video! I have been following your tutorials to improve my PowerApps skills. I have a quick question-I am having trouble with the ReadNFC function. It doesn't seem to work for me and I have tested it on multiple phones with no response. I even added an if condition to display a message if the function is blank or not: If(IsBlank(ReadNFC()), Notify("Read failed.", NotificationType.Error), Notify("Data submitted successfully!", NotificationType.Success) ) But still, nothing happens. Could this be a Microsoft issue? Everything else in PowerApps is working perfectly.
Hey! Thanks for the video. When I tried to work with Powerapp, I realized that Powerapps is not reading UID of the tag. However, it reads text, url , etc. Can you help me read the UID?
@@ShanesCows Hi Shane, this is inspiring. I definitely want to get on board with your training program. For personal and for businesses. I'd love to see a fleet management dispatch app.
Thanks 4 the video ! I am very grateful to you for your Poewerapp series.. Could you show an example of how a IT documentation could be made in Powerapp? I would like that when you click on the username that his PC (from another sharepoint list) appears, that your phone (from another sharepoint list) appears etc ..That would be cool
How do a create a data set that pulls the relevant info tied to the NFC tag and then have my "checkout" section write back to the data set on the item of where its location is? We want these on our inventory, and when they get scanned, give a option of different locations it could be at, then write that location into the data set on the relevant item that was tied to that specific NFC tag. I hope this makes sense
In this video what I did was created a SharePoint list that had the NFC tag info and then additional product info. That way when I scanned the tag I could do a lookup to the SharePoint list for the item. You would then use a Patch to update the information. This video th-cam.com/video/HTY8AnMz5rw/w-d-xo.html will show you the other side of the saving updates equation. combine the 2 and you have what you are looking for. We at www.powerapps911.com can also help you if need be.
Hej Shane! Thanks for the awesome walkthrough! Please clear my doubts so I can go cry in the corner. NFC tag reader is only usable on mobile version, right?
As far as I know. If you wanted to use a USB one on your PC I think you would treat it like a keyboard. kind of like I showed in this video th-cam.com/video/XFfr1GDCiFE/w-d-xo.html
@@ShanesCows Unfortunately the option to read NFC via USB in Web browser is at the moment not supported. I tried different methods and the message is always the same inside of Powerapps. Hopefully this will be solved in the future. Back to scanning barcodes :)
Hi! Informative video:) However, I faced one problem: when I press the button, the "ready to scan" message does not appear :((( Do you know if this could be a bug with Microsoft? My phone can read NFC through other apps
I am not sure, I just opened the app and it still works for me. :( Might be a bug. Might be worth making a quick new app that just has the button and test it. Try to figure out if it is the app or the phone or the bug.
@@ShanesCows we were going to raise a ticket and noticed that the ticket was already raised the day before (4406775-ReadNFC feature is not working in power apps moible). It is related to the new PowerApss version. Workaround helps but I hope Microsoft will fix this soon. Proposed workaroud: "While addressing the long-term solution, for short term resolution kindly proceed with publishing your application by setting the studio authoring version to 3.24092.19 and republishing the app.

Hi Shane, have you heard if it will be possible in the foreseeable future to read the serial numbers on NFC tags. In my organization we want to use Powerapps for access control. We use several thousands of cards (which contain a serial number) which until now were inspected visually without any real validation, using an app on a device could help in this process. Is there some beta version of this functionality available that you know of? Thanks
Hey Shane, Thank you so much for the video you have really helped me out a lot on some min things. I did just want was saying to do this video and it did not work for me can you help me how to fix this?
Hi Shane, first thank you for all your video tutorials, they're very helpful and informative! Im trying to make a similar app for my department but with a barcode. I have 3 Sheets on 1 excel workbook, Students, Equipment and Checkout (records history of item checked out and students who used the item). I would like to scan the item and students ID, this will get more info from both student and item (name, phone #, email, brand, model, serial number) and add it to the Checkout sheet. However, I cant seem to have the 3 sheets 'talk' to each other. Please advise. Thank you!
Hello sir, I have learnt tabbed forms by your video. So I have used it, I have used buttons in the gallery and I want disabled that button if check box is uncheck. Whenever it is check so button should be enable. So should I do that sir plz clear my doubt??
Hello sir, could you please clear my doubt regarding Power apps? The doubt is, how to hide a fields based on toggle? If I on toggle the fields should be visible, otherwise it should not be visible. Can you sovle my doubt??
Hey Shane, is there any way to use NFC Tags on Windows App? I build a App for my employees to login and track the working hours. At the moment I am using a personal code. But I would love to give them RFID / NFC chips to login. But it is only working on iOS or Andorid.
@@ShanesCows Okay. Yes there are different reader available. But I may found a solution. I hope to find a software, which uses the reader as keyboard and inserts the text. But right now I cant download it, because the manufacture of the reader has problems on the website.
Hi Shane, thanks so much for these videos. Do you have any videos for a very simple inventory system? I want to create one where my team issues out chemicals where the app subtracts from the main inventory list as items are issued.

amzn.to/3j5qKyr is the exact ones I used. I think they are 215.
@@ShanesCows thanks man, I’m hoping to apply it to a warehouse this weekend, I’ll let you know how it worked it out 👍
Cool video Shane! I had no idea powerapps had this function.. I wonder if you can write NFCs as well
I don't think Power Apps can write them but at least it can read them. If you find a way to write with Power Apps please let me know.

I used to love messing with NFC chips. I'm glad they haven't gone away completely. (also, first)
I knew this comment was going to say first. 😁 This was my first time messing with them. Was interesting.
Is it possible if i use the external nfc reader to scan the nfc?if my device doesnt have the built in nfc reader

Sorry Martijn, you know more about what is coming with NFC than I do. I am no help.
I am very new with NTF tech and looking for NFC cards/stickers with a unique identifier to avoid copy. I know this does exist.
Shane, did RFID and NFC tags are different? Can power apps read the RFID tags?
No, I think only NFC. 😑

@@ShanesCows When I did VarMyNFCTag. ( The Text or TiN did not pop up) at all; the only thing that popped up was Identifier and NDEFRecord
I got it to work; It's not scanning each one individually; how can I fix that?
@@octaviusrice4674 I’m having the same issue
I seem to be doing something wrong 😢 the only thing I can get from the tag is a full table of all records and can’t isolate just the text.
Use First to get the first record from the table. Then .Text to get the text output. First(ReadNFC().NDEFRecords).Text

You can add all 3 as a datasource to your app. Then you can lookup against each. Should be okay to do.
