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 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 of the barcode box.
Barcode type and properties
A barcode is always added with the barcode type's default properties and dimensions.
To change the barcode type or the barcode's properties such as the scale and color, open the
Barcode properties dialog: right-click the barcode (on the Design tab in the Workspace) and
select Barcode on the shortcut menu.
