Barcodes#

The Barcodes section appears in any Entity Page with the Allow Barcode IDs property enabled. It displays available Barcodes for identifying specific entities, such as Materials, Resources, and Containers. To view this section, navigate to the Administration panel, select Entity Types, and enable the Allow Barcode IDs property.

Barcodes are used to register Materials, in Weigh and Dispense scenarios or in Connect IoT/Factory Automation scenarios, as well as authentication strategies in Security Portal, but they can be integrated into any custom UI Page using a specific widget.

For more information on how to use Barcodes, see Find Entity Control and Barcode Identification.

In addition, it enables you to manage and edit these barcode IDs through a specific section within the Entity page.
