Barcode (for Alloy table)

The "Barcode" field type is designed to capture barcode data. It includes a button to open the camera for quick scanning, allowing users to fill in the field efficiently by scanning a barcode.

The Barcode field type is linked to columns of type Barcode in the Alloy table, which supports various barcode formats.

This field is designed to capture and validate barcode data, ensuring that the information entered meets specific criteria and is correctly formatted.

Default Value

Pre-fill the Barcode field with a standard barcode value or placeholder text when the form is first loaded.

This can serve as an example or a common barcode format to guide users. If no default value is set, the field will be empty, and users will need to scan or enter the barcode manually.

Validation

• Min Length: This setting specifies the minimum number of characters required for the barcode.

• Max Length: This setting limits the maximum number of characters allowed in the Barcode field. This helps ensure that the barcode data does not exceed a certain length, which can prevent the entry of invalid or overly long barcodes that do not conform to the expected format.

• Content Type (Recommended: Plain Text): This setting ensures that the data entered in the field is validated as plain text, which is typically the format used for barcode data.
