I'm trying to build an experience in UI Builder to allow check in/out of wheelchairs. The intent is to have an input field that the user clicks into, then uses a barcode reader which pushes the asset tag # into the field as a text string. The user would then click a button to check in or check out the asset. The button would do a lookup on the main Inventory table, searching for the (unique) asset tag value, and then return the record sys_id (to be used in a data resource).
I'm having difficulty figuring out how to do this. It seems like all data resources only take sys_id as a lookup and I can't find a mechanism by which to do a GlideRecord lookup outside of a data resource.
Is there any documentation or videos describing how to do something like this?
Thanks for any help.
