Example of Creating a New Barcode Definition in the Siebel Handheld Application
This topic gives one example of creating a new barcode definition in Siebel Service Handheld. Although this example is for the Siebel Service Handheld application, it pertains to all Siebel Handheld applications. You can define new one-dimensional barcodes in the Barcode Administration views. To define a new barcode, you need to create a new barcode definition in the Barcode list, then create corresponding records in the Barcode Item list to define data elements within the barcode. To create a new barcode definition, complete the following procedures. You can perform these procedures differently, depending on your business model.

NOTE: Reducing the amount of barcode seed data extracted to the Siebel Service Handheld application improves client performance and reduces synchronization database extract size.

- Navigate to the Administration - Mobile screen > Application Administration view.
- Select Siebel Service for CE.
- Click the Settings view tab, and make sure the parent record is the application Siebel Service for CE.

|
|
|
|
SHCE Service FS Activity Part Movements |
SHCE Service FS Activity Part Movements List Applet |
FS Activity Parts Movement |
Product Name |
- If the following record does not exist, create a new record for the Product Name field in the SHCE Service FS Activity Part Movements Form Applet for barcode scanning with the following information:
|
|
|
|
SHCE Service FS Activity Part Movements (More Info) |
SHCE Service FS Activity Part Movements Form Applet |
FS Activity Parts Movement |
Product Name |
- Save the changes. Now the Buscomp Field Product Name in both the SHCE Service FS Activity Part Movements view and the SHCE Service FS Activity Part Movements (More Info) view have been enabled for barcode scanning. The Buscomp Field Product Name specified here matches the value in the Data Desc column in the Barcode Item list defined earlier.
