Using Identifiers tab

Use this maintenance form to define the Application Identifier for each Scan Format Id.
Note: Multiple versions can be created for each AI.

To create an identifier, on the Scan Format ID:

  1. Open the Scan Formats.
  2. Select the Scan Format ID where the identifier must be integrated.
  3. Click Identifiers.
  4. Specify this information:
    Application Identifier
    A code with not more than 5 characters. This is a mandatory field.
    Version
    The version of the application identifier. By default, this field is set to 1. The user can create different versions for the same ID.
    Description
    A description for the identifier.
    Data Type
    A data type related to the identifier. The options are:
    • String: Refers to the text.
    • Numeric: Refers to the numbers.
    • Date: Refers to the date. The format must be based on the settings defined in the Scan Date Format field.

    This is a mandatory field.

    Fixed Length
    If this checkbox is selected, the identifier must be of a fixed length based on the value defined in the Maximum Length column.
    Note: If this checkbox is cleared, the identifier can be of a length which is equal to or less than the value specified in the Maximum Length column
    Maximum Length
    The maximum number of characters that the identifier must have. This is a mandatory field.
    Scan Date Format
    The date format. The user can edit this field only if the Data Type field is set to Date. The applicable formats are; YYYYMMDD, YYMMDD, MMDDYYYY, YYMM and MMYY where DD is hardcoded to 01.
    Decimal Logic
    If this checkbox is selected, the Identifiers use the decimal logic value.

    For example; Sample: ]C112422995, where ]C1 is the Scan Format ID, 1242 is the Identifier, 2 is the number of decimals and 2995 is the value that is provided with decimals. Results: 29.95.

    Note: 
    • This field is enabled if the Identifier is set to data type, Numeric.
    • If this checkbox is cleared, the Identifier does not use the decimal logic value and the user can specify a value in the Number of Decimals field.
    Number of Decimals
    The specific number of decimals on the identifier, during configuration. For example; The Number of Decimals is 2 and Sample: ]C11242995, where ]C1 is the Scan Format ID, 124 is the Identifier and 2995 is the value that is provided with decimals. Results: 29.95.
    Note: This field is enabled only if the Decimal Logic field is disabled.
  5. Click Save.
