Inserting barcodes

To insert a field as a barcode:

1. Edit the field’s Field Options using the Field Options menu from the data panel’s pop-out menu

2. On the “Format” pane, change the field’s type to be “Barcode“

3. Select the barcode type from the Barcode Type pop-up.

The field will now be treated in the same way as an image field, so to insert the barcode insert the field into an image box or assign a Field Specifier for this field to an image box.
