Appian Community and Appian Academy are being upgraded. As a part of the upgrade, Appian Community is currently in read-only mode, and user registration is disabled until August 3. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but a more secure, stable, and performant Community experience is coming soon!

The new Appian Community launches August 3, followed by Appian Academy on August 7. During the migration, Appian Community Edition, Appian Academy, Documentation, Certifications, Instructor-led Customer Training, Partner Sales Training & Accreditation, and Forum (for Appian Partners and Customers only) will remain available.

Barcode and QR Code Utilities

Overview

This Plug-in allows you to generate and decode Barcodes or QR codes in an Appian application.  It is designed for use with Appian’s mobile photo upload capabilities.

Example uses:

  • Take photo of a Barcode or QR code with your mobile device or use an image of one, and decode it in an Appian process
  • Generate a Barcode or QR code as part of a process, to embed in an invoice or cover sheet

Key Features & Functionality

The plug-in includes 2 Smart Services (Generate Bar Code, Generate QR Code) and a custom function (Read Bar/QR Code).

All services use the Google ZXING (Zebra Crossing) library — see the documentation page for a list of barcode types supported.
