Configuring Barcodes

You can define how barcodes work in your application by modifying the existing barcode prefixes, combination barcodes, and cross reference values.

Setting up barcode prefixes

You can use the Prefix Handling form to set up barcode prefixes. Barcode prefixes are embedded at the beginning of barcodes and are used to indicate the barcode type. You can set mandatory prefixes to control which barcode types can be scanned into certain field types. Using mandatory prefixes can help prevent users from scanning the wrong barcode into a field.

See Setting Up Barcode Prefixes.

Setting up combination barcodes

Combination barcodes can increase the efficiency of your scanner operations by combining multiple barcodes into a single barcode string. Use the Multi-Barcode Split form to set up combination barcodes. You can define which transactions will use combination barcodes and define the properties of those combination barcodes.

See Setting Up Combination Barcodes.
