I am looking for a way to make a simple search form that will search for a Box ID in a single group, on a single board, return the data from that item only (just like the card view available), and let my user select match or exception, based on comparison to the physical contents of that box ID. The contents of this box will change all the time, so it is a dynamic database. I would ideally like to be able to manually enter the box ID or scan a QR code of my box ID for the search.
For this - have you tried monday vibe?
Yes, I have played around some with it, but have not had much luck. I have tried multiple times with it.
What you’re looking for isn’t a native monday feature. Perhaps with a 3rd party app or with vibe. When’s the last time you tried vibe? They added a bunch of features recently.

Hello @Girl_Friday
Yep, this is doable in monday.com, with a couple of important limitations.
You can build it like this
Use a custom “Box ID” column on the board
Use a filtered view so the user only sees the one matching item
Open that item in Card View so it feels like a single record
Add a Status column for Match or Exception
What monday can’t do natively
A true “search form” that instantly returns the matching item without creating a new submission item
QR scanning inside monday itself (users can scan with a phone app and paste the value)
Best practice
Do not rely on the built in Item ID for this. Use a Box ID text column instead, especially if you ever want to automate it later with the API.

Hi @Girl_Friday,
Have you tried our app QR Flow? It allows you to build a custom display based on your item data and show it when the associated QR code is generated.
Example configuration:

I have been looking at QR flow. I have some questions, I will email you. Thank you!
