Barcode Report

The Barcode report doesn’t have column headers or anything like that. It’s quite simple, really. All it has on it are barcodes for your items. When you first open this report, it will have a barcode for every item in the Items module, and it will have each item’s name under its barcode. This isn’t limited by the type of item. Inventory, Non Inventory, Shipping, Bundle, Service, Labor, and Overhead items will all receive barcodes.

Optional

On the right of the report, you will find several Optional features to select which barcodes will be displayed:

• Item - A dropdown menu to narrow down the report to a barcode for the selected item. By default, you will see barcodes for all items, but this lets you focus in on just one, excluding all others. You can create a new item by entering a name for the item in the textbox and hitting Enter or clicking the + Add option. Then fill out the New Item wizard that pops up.
• Count - A textbox to enter the number of copies of each barcode to include in the report. By default, the number of copies will be 1, but you can enter 2, 3, etc. to multiply the barcode count by that number.
• Starting Label - A textbox to enter the number of barcodes to skip. By default, this will be filled with the equivalent of 0, but if you enter 1, the first barcode will be excluded from this report. If you enter 2, the first two barcodes will be excluded, and so forth.
• Produced From Type - A dropdown menu to limit the barcodes displayed by their source. There are three fields from the General tab of the Items module you can choose from to determine which barcodes are included in the report:
  • Name - The name of each item. This is the default field used for this report. Since all items have a name, they will all be included.
  • Barcode/UPC - The universal product code for each item. This field isn’t required, so not every item might have one.
  • SKU - The stock-keeping unit number for each item. This field isn’t required, so not every item might have one.
• Format Report For Exporting - A checkbox that is supposed to remove the page breaks and display the report on one long page for exporting to PDF and CSV formats. It isn’t working currently, but hopefully it will in the future.
• Show Description - A checkbox that adds each item’s description under its name on the report. If there is no description in the Items module, nothing will appear.
• Show Price - A checkbox that adds each item’s price above its barcode on the report.
• Show UPC - A checkbox that adds each item’s universal product code under its barcode on the report. Of course, this only applies to items that have a UPC in the Items module.

To select all of the status fields at once, click the Select All Optional checkbox. The Select All Optional checkbox won’t affect any of the dropdown menus or textboxes under the Optional header. Those will have to be updated manually. To search for an option in a dropdown menu, click in that field and begin entering text. It will show all options that have that text in them.
