Metadata Fields
The barcode valuesare stored at the datapage level of the metadata. In the following
defintions, the first 2 metadata fields are for standard use,while the next 8 fields contain '_1_' in
their name. This number represents the barcode index on the page. If there is more than one
barcode on the same page, these metadata fields will be defined as many times as there are
barcodes on the page, except that the middle number (..._X_...) will increment according to the
barcode index (e.g. Barcode_2_Value, Barcode_3_Value, etc.).
l
BarcodeValue: Metadata field representing the value of the barcode. When multiple
barcodes are present on the page, this field is present multiple times.
l
BarcodeCount:: Metadata field representing the number of barcodes on the page.
l
Barcode_1_Value: Metadata field representing the value of the first barcode on the
page.Note that thisfield (Barcode_1_Value) contains the same value as the first
occurrence of BarcodeValue.
l
BarcodeBase64_1_Value: Metadata field containing the value of the first barcode,
encoded in Base64.
l
Barcode_1_Type: Metadata field containing the type of the first barcode (ex. EAN13,
UPCA …).
l
Barcode_1_Orientation: Metadata field containing the orientation of the first barcode.
l
Barcode_1_Top: Metadata field providing the distance (in pixels)from the top of the
page to the top of the first barcode.
l
Barcode_1_Bottom: Metadata field providing the distance (in pixels) from the top of the
page to the bottom of the first barcode.
l
Barcode_1_Left: Metadata field providing the distance (in pixels) from the left of the page
to the left side part of the first barcode.
l
Barcode_1_Right: Metadata field providing the distance (in pixels) from the left of the
page to the right side part of the first barcode.
Accessing Barcode Value From a Workflow Tool
One method is to use a VBScriptwith the Open Script task, using the Watch.ExpandString
command with a metadata command as its input parameter, in between double quotes. For
example, the following script line gives the value of the first BarcodeValue metadata field of the
first datapage:
