Retrieving Bar Code Information

To retrieve information using bar codes:

  1. Open or create a BP record.
  2. Tap the Bar Code icon associated with a field to scan a bar code, or tap the arrow to manually select the record associated with the bar code.
  3. Aim your camera at the bar code of the object/equipment and wait till the scan is complete.
  4. In low-light conditions, tap the Flashlight icon to scan the bar code. The App retrieves information from the source BP record with the corresponding bar code. If the source BP has fields with auto-population defined, they are also auto-populated.

    Notes:

    • The source BP record with the scanned code must exist in the device and must be a valid bar code. If the scanned code is incorrect or the entered value is incorrect, an error message is displayed.
    • The BP must be designed and configured to support bar codes and allow the retrieval of bar code information.
