Set Up Barcode Scanning in the Builder

Scan barcodes with your GoCanvas compatible mobile device or wedge barcode scanner.

Barcode Fields

Make sure your device's camera has Autofocus functionality. Otherwise it will not read a barcode. Adding a Barcode field is as easy as selecting + Add Field, typing "Barcode," and typing Enter. You could also drag and drop the field into your form exactly where you want it.

Barcode Scanning on Mobile

If using an iOS or Android device, launch the GoCanvas application. In your form, you will now see the button Capture Barcode below the text box.

1. Tap the Capture Barcode button.
2. Your device's camera will launch and you will see a square in the center of the screen.
3. You will now need to line up the barcode within the square.
4. The square will turn green once the form can read the barcode and the code will be captured like taking a picture. You don’t have to do anything more than lining up the barcode with in the box and wait for it to capture.         

Once the barcode has been captured you will see the screen go back to your form and the barcode field will be populated with the code.
