URGENT! I need assistance navigating a challenge I am currently facing.
I am implementing a project that adopts the Gender Model Family (GMF) program. We want to record each household’s biodata and action plan in KoboToolbox. To simplify this process, we need a unique QR code generated for each household, linking both the biodata and action plan. The goal is to enable easy access to both records by scanning the QR code with a mobile phone.
We have already developed the data collection form but want to ensure this integration is possible before proceeding.
I would sincerely appreciate any technical assistance on this.

Welcome to the community, @mist2p_2023, @Loren075Keyser! This post discussed previously should help you understand how you could use the barcode/QR code in KoboToolbox.
Can you please provide a bit more detail about exactly what you are doing, what you have tried, and why it isnt working. And I’m sure somebody here can assist.
A barcode in your Kobo form is basically a rapid way of acquiring a lot of string data, one that doesn’t require the user manually typing stuff in. Once you have acquired this data, you can then extract whatever fields out of it that you want [how depends entirely on how you have formatted the string data…], and then use them for the same purpose(s) that you might have, say, if the user entered an ID number manually; eg using the ID for pulldata.
Have a look at the form - and associated barcode - described here to give you an idea of how to go about this. It happens to use a base64 encoded string, but your QR codes dont necessarily have to be.
