Wyn Enterprise: Barcode

In Wyn Enterprise, the Barcode control is used to display data in a machine readable QR or barcode format that enables you to scan sensitive information. The Barcode control lets you insert different types of barcodes into your report. The types of barcodes supported in Wyn Enterprise are listed and described in the Barcode Symbology section.

Structure

Structure of the Barcode control is explained below,

Quiet Zone: The zone at the left and right ends of the bar code are known as Quiet Zone. Both ends must be at least 10 times as wide as the minimum element width for proper scanning of the barcode.
Start Character: Start Character indicates the start of the barcode.
Stop Character: Stop Character indicates the end of the barcode.
Check Digit: Check Digit is a numeric value used to check read errors. Check Digit is located right after the barcode data.
Bar Height: Bar Height is the height of the barcode and is recommended to be greater than 15% of the barcode length.

To add a Barcode control to a report, navigate to the Report Designer and follow the below instructions,

1. Drag and drop the Barcode control onto the design area from the Designer Toolbar.
   

2. Using the Inspector Panel on the right side of your screen, customize the appearance of the Barcode control. Select a type of barcode from the Type property of the Symbology section. See the Inspector Panel Properties section for more information on the properties of the Barcode control.
