2-dimensional bar codes can encode a Document Type, Document Date and/or multiple Keyword Values in the same bar code. To support 2-dimensional bar codes, a VB script can be executed during the scanning operation to parse out the separate values and assign them to the Document Type. This method allows for the most flexibility for system administrators.

When a VB script is assigned to a bar code, the OnBase Client module will run this script when the specified bar code is detected. The script then performs whatever translations are necessary on the bar code value and communicates to the Client the Document Type, Document Date and/or any number of Keyword Values.

When a script is run, information about the script (e.g., if any properties or Keyword Values were set for the currently-displayed document, any message that was configured as part of the script, etc.) is displayed in the Indexing Status pane of Document Imaging window.

  1. Create the VB script that will parse the bar code value(s).
  2. Select a Visible Scope of Bar Code Processing. This makes the script available when the specified bar code is detected. Deselect all other Visible Scope options when using this option.
  3. Assign the script to the bar code that it will run against.
  4. Select the Process Type Document type set by bar code script. See Configuring the Process Type.
  5. Configure the rest of the Bar Code Process as usual. When configuring the individual bar code-to-Keyword Type mappings in the Bar Code Field Definition screen, all VB scripts that have been configured with a Visible Scope of Bar Code Processing are available to be assigned to bar codes.
