Whether you need to display a single QR Code or an elaborate barcode label with various data, it all starts at the Barcode Generators module in your left nav. This is where the top-level configuration & testing interface exists for your barcode label.
When you install Barcode & QR Code Generator, you will find an included Barcode Generator named 'Sample Barcode'. This is a great place to get started.
Test record: Setting a test record will determine the data that is dynamically included in the label on the Test Barcode Form section on the Barcode Generator form. This is a great way to test your barcode label as you build it out.
Printable/Savable/Attachable: Selecting these checkboxes will determine if the print/save/attach icons appear above the barcode label when it is rendered on a form, UI page, or Service Portal.
Width/Height: Width is the width of the barcode label being generated, and must always be specified regardless of label Orientation. Height is optional, but is useful if you are constrained to a particular height, especially for printing. If height is not set, the label will grow to accommodate its contents.
Orientation: Determines how the Barcode Parts are rendered, either Vertically (top-to-bottom) or Horizontally (left-to-right).
Padding: Optionally, add padding (in inches) around the perimeter of your label to improve appearance.
Show border: Optionally, display a border around the label dimensions. This is useful during the building/testing process to ensure the contents of your barcode label fit within the Width/Height specified. Generally, this will be disabled prior to printing, but may be maintained for display on screen or in email notifications.
The Test Barcode Form section displays a sample of the Barcode Generator you are working on, including data from the record listed in the Test record field. This is the ideal place to view your progress as you build out a new barcode label.
The actual contents of your Barcode Generator are covered in our next section on Barcode Parts.
