Barcode scanning support

Screen fields can be configured to support parsing of barcodes into individual data elements.

  1. Select Enterprise > Administration > Mobile Personalization > Screens.
  2. Select the screen and click the arrow.
  3. Select the Fields tab.
  4. Under Barcode, click Show More.
  5. Specify this information:

    This Field Contains

    If your screen has fields that contain the asn number, sku, shipment order, storer code, or PO number, these fields need to be identified and marked as containing the data. The RF framework will pass these fields to the barcode parsing algorithm to find where the barcode format group is stored. For example, if you have fields that contain the owner and item, those fields must be marked so that the barcode parsing algorithm can find the format group that is configured on the Item Master.

    Returned Data Element

    Select the data element that should be returned into this field when the parsing is complete. This field must match the data element names that are parsed in the Barcode Configuration record.

    Parsing Expression

    Specify an expression that must evaluate to TRUE or FALSE. When it is true, the data in this field will be sent to the barcode parsing algorithm. must call the barcode parsing algorithm after focus moves out of the field.

    Barcode Identifier To Add

    The Barcode Identifier To Add is prepended onto the front of the scanned data from this field and is sent to the parsing algorithm. This allows the parsing algorithm to find the rules that you have configured for this data in the Barcode Configuration screen that has a matching identifier.

    Clear if Not Returned

    Select this check box to have the data in the screen field cleared when the barcode parsing algorithm does not return the data element. If this check box is not selected, the data in the field is retained.
