Barcodes are useful tools for organising and tracking items in your template. With barcodes, you can easily scan and input data into your metadata fields, making keeping track of your items easier. In this article, we will go over how to create a barcode as a text metadata field, import barcodes, and scan them into your metadata field.

If you want to add a barcode to your template, you can create a text metadata field specifically for barcodes. It will allow you to easily scan and input barcode data into your items, resources or devices. For more information on metadata fields and setting up Inventory templates, click here.

If you want to add a large number of barcodes to your template, you can use the import tool. Make sure to create a column with your barcodes and import your Inventory using the one-row per-item option.

If you have a barcode scanner that acts as a keyboard input, you can simply scan the barcode, and the data will be automatically input into your barcode field.

If you do not have a barcode scanner, you can use your iPhone or Android keyboard with a built-in barcode scanner. Simply download a barcode scanning app and follow the instructions to enable the keyboard. Then, you can scan the barcode, and the data will be inputted into your barcode field.

Some examples:

iPhone→ Barcode Keyboard

Android→ Scanner Keyboard

If you are looking for a specific item, you can also scan the barcode into the search bar to quickly find it.

With these tips, you can easily use barcodes in your template to organise and track your items. Happy scanning!
