Support for custom barcode formats (Non-GS1)

If your barcode is non-GS1, you can use a converter like to identify the values you need.

Step 1: Define Regular Expression

We will use a Barcode converter to extract the part of the barcode we want.

Format: "SerialNumber MoreBarcodeValues"

Example: SN100000000000000001 ABC123

Note the "space" character after the serial number.

The expression must read the first 20 characters before that space character.

^(\w{1,20})\s"  

Step 2: Enable "ScanToSelectBehaviourType"

This is changed in Mobile Configuration Files.

See the example below.

See also Order Lines Mobile Configuration for details on the properties used.

Step 3: Define Converter and AI (GS1 Application Identifier)

Insert the regular expression and direct it to AI21 (Serial Number)

<page id="PickLines" type="OrderLines" icon="mainmenupick">
  <orderLinesConfiguration>
    <scanToSelectBehaviour gs1SearchTerm="Item" behaviour="Auto">     
      <converter expression="^(\w{1,20})\s" expressionAis="21"/>      
    </scanToSelectBehaviour>                                          
  <..>
