Dynamic Data from a Barcode - Stadard Lable Layout
Hello, sorry if this has been asked before but i'm new to this software and i'm struggling to work out a solution to my issue.
I'm attempting to setup a label that allows data to be input from behind a barcode.
We would have 1 standard layout that has new information input from a barcode.
This informaiton would hold things like Part number, batch numbers and date codes. This would be different on each label.
Does this software work like this and what is the best way to achieve what i need to do?

If all the data is coming from one barcode scan then you would need to to work out a way how you can split that data up into the respective parts and this would depend on your data. Are the fields/elements all fixed length (ie batch always 8 characters for example) and in the same position in the string?
If so you could scan the data into a Data Entry Form linked to a field off the side of the label (so it doesnt print) and use the ObjectMethod as the Data Source for each of the label fields and setup Truncation (keep and discard etc) for each of these to only keep the elements you require

Thank you Peter, after some practice, i've managed to do it via multiple text form inputs from 1 barcode using the tab command inside the barcode.
This has done the requirement as i like your idea but our part numbers can sometimes change in size.
I do have some fiddling to get it working exactly as needed but this is a great start and appericate you taking the time to try and help.
