Barcode Content

 

The content dialog for the barcode object lets you define the barcode more precisely.

§ Choose "Text" if you want to print fixed text as a barcode. Enter the value to be printed in the first part of the input field. Choose the type of barcode that you want in the second field.

§ Choose "Formula" if you want to use a formula as a barcode, and define a valid formula expression with the "Edit" button. The formula must return a "barcode" value type.

§ Choose "Variable" if you want to print a variable as a barcode. In the drop-down box, you can choose from all available barcode variables.
