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.
