Note
For barcodes that require a Checksum, the Designer can calculate a Checksum if
that isn't provided by your data. In that case the field should contain the required
value minus the Checksum. To include a calculated Checksum in the barcode
value, edit the barcode properties after adding the barcode to the template; see
below.
6. Click OK to close the dialog.
In the template the barcode shows up as a gray box. The associated barcode script is added to
the Scripts pane. To see the barcode script working, toggle to the Preview tab in the
Workspace.
A barcode is always added with the barcode type's default properties and dimensions, but they
can easily be changed; see "Barcode type and properties" below.
Changing a barcode
Barcode script
The barcode script determines which value is fed to the barcode generator. Double-click the
script on the Scripts pane to change which field or fields are added to the barcode value. When
you select more than one field, the script puts the values of the selected fields in one string and
passes that to the barcode generator.
Tip
If you don't know which script matches the barcode, click the box that contains the
barcode and check the ID and class of that box on the Attributes pane. Then take a look
at the Scripts pane: the selector of the associated script is the same as the ID and/or class
of the barcode box.
If a barcode has more than one class name, only the first one is used in the script's
selector.
