Setting Up the Barcode Interface

You set up specific views, applets, and fields for barcode data in the Barcode Mappings view of the Service Administration screen. Using these mappings, Siebel Field Service records with barcode data are found. Also, using these mappings, barcode data is populated in specific views, applets, and fields. The barcode data can create a new record or update an existing record.

NOTE:  Siebel Field Service includes a complete series of barcode mappings. You do not have to add or change any mappings unless you want to configure custom mappings.
