Arrays for Barcode Fields

In certain forms, it may be useful to use arrays for barcode fields. For example, barcode arrays could be used for forms that have a list of borrowers with corresponding barcode ID numbers:

Each column contains one array. All fields in a column would have the same data ID. The indexes would correspond to the row number where the fields are placed.

To define an array for barcode fields

1. Create the barcode fields and position them on your form.

2. Select all the barcode fields in the group and display the Field property page.

3. Enter the data ID and description for the fields.

4. Click on the Data ID label to expose the Data Dimension property.

5. Click the in the Data Dimension value field once to enter a 1 and the Data Index 1 field will appear:

6. For each barcode field in the set, do the following:

• Click on the field on the form.

• Enter the index in the Data Index 1 field. The indexes should correspond to the field’s row:

The above example shows the index for the barcode field in the third row.
