![]() The example generates both a Word and RDL layout. The first example uses the Code 39 one-dimensional font from the built-in IDautomation barcode provider. The following code shows an example report that displays the No. In the report layout, add the barcode field and apply the barcode font to the field.įor more information, see Adding the barcode to the report layout.Īdding the barcode to the report dataset in AL Call the font encoder on the data stringįor an example of how it's done, see Adding the barcode to the report dataset.Declare the barcode font by using the barcode symbology enum.Declare the provider by using the barcode provider interface.To represent a string as a barcode in a report, you encode it according to the symbology you want. In AL code, add the barcode to a report or report extension object.ĭetermine the source of the data string that you want to display as a barcode in the report, for example, like a field in the underlying table.Īdd a column to the report dataset to hold the encoded string for the barcode. Consider contributing to the open-source project if you do. Use the built-in providers and encoders as a starting point. When creating your own, adhere to the interface in the Barcode module. If you don't want to use the built-in IDAutomation providers and encoders, create your own provider and encoders using the API. But if you then test the report, for example in an online sandbox, it will be shown on the report. Without the font, the report won't show the barcode. You don't need the barcode fonts installed on the computer you're using when developing a report and its layouts. (optional) Install the fonts on your development computer or virtual machine. The tasks involved in creating a report that displays a barcode are as follows: Or, you can purchase fonts from other providers, then use the API to create custom barcode providers and encoders. ![]() If you choose the IDAutomation fonts, you can use the same built-in providers and encoders as Business Central online - without making any changes. For a description of the available fonts, see Barcode Fonts with Business Central Online.įor Business Central on-premises, you'll have to purchase and install the barcode fonts. So you can start adding barcodes to reports right away. With Business Central online, the IDAutomation fonts are automatically available as part of the service.
