getBarCodeText Step
Description:
This step retrieves the text that represents the barcode.
Inputs
- barcodeFilePath – file path to the barcode file
- barcodeType – select the type of barcode, QR, etc
- textVarGlobal – variable or global to hold the barcode text
Returns
- True – step executed successfully
- False – step failed to execute
Usage:
Example:
Let’s build and execute the “getBarcodeTextDef” example.
- Create a new process definition named “getBarcodeTextDef” and open it in designer mode.
- Drag a “getBarcodeText” step to the canvas.
- Connect the dots between the “Start” and “getBarcodeText” steps, as shown above.
- Define a variable or a global to store the result.
- Click the "getBarcodeText" step to configure its "Required" properties. Provide a name for the step. Provide the path to a barcode image file on the application server. Provide a variable or a global reference to store the result text. Click the Save button. Note: Click the "AI Predict" button for the Copilot to add new process steps that match your process description.
- Click the "getBarcodeText" step to configure its "Optional" properties. Select the barcode type from the drop-down list, then click the Save button.
- The “Logging” configuration is necessary for documentation and also measures workflow progress and percent complete. This is achieved by configuring the step state and percent fields individually, as shown below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.
- Save the process definition, create a new instance, and execute it. Render the process instance. Click the process step to view its properties. The step should recognize the text in the barcode image.
Definition Sample:
You may download the sample definition(s) from the link provided and later import them (drag-and-drop) into your FlowWright Process Definition (XML file) or Form Definition (HTML file) page.
Note: Please verify and complete the process steps for any missing configurations, such as file path references and database connections, after the import. Then, save the definition to confirm the changes.
