During tour configuration, barcode scanning can be implemented for navigation to the correct tag or tag group. Barcode scanning can also be used for any input field, even the Value and Comment fields, if desired.
Note: Barcode scanning is now supported in both individual and grid data entry.
External scanners or scanning software enabled for the camera on your device can be used, as long as software is provided that directs scanned data to the field that has the focus, and in this case, the barcode input field.
Some native applications are available that provide a soft-keyboard with integrated camera barcode scanning capability. In this case, the touch keyboard scans and enters barcodes directly into input fields that have the focus and allow text entry.
