- Barcodes can be embedded in labels or reports
- Barcode functionality can be extended via plugins
Barcode Data Types
Barcodes can be linked with the following data model types:
Web Integration
Barcode scanning can be enabled within the web interface. Barcode scanning in the web interface supports scanning via:
- Keyboard style scanners (e.g. USB connected)
- Webcam (image processing)
Configuration
Barcode scanning may need to be enabled for the web interface:
{% with id="barcode_config", url="barcode/barcode_settings.png", description="Barcode settings" %}
{% include 'img.html' %}
{% endwith %}
Scanning
When enabled, select the barcode icon in the top-right of the menu bar to scan a barcode. If the barcode is recognized by the system, the web browser will automatically navigate to the correct item:
{% with id="barcode_scan", url="barcode/barcode_scan.png", description="Barcode scan" %}
{% include 'img.html' %}
{% endwith %}
No Match Found
If no match is found for the scanned barcode, the following error message is displayed:
{% with id="barcode_no_match", url="barcode/barcode_no_match.png", description="No match for barcode" %}
{% include 'img.html' %}
{% endwith %}
App Integration
Barcode scanning is a key feature of the companion mobile app.
