    Dynamic Input

    Dynamic Input enables you to define scripts that automatically parse barcodes during scanning. This enhances flexibility when dealing with varied barcode formats across suppliers and systems.

    Use Cases

    • Standardise Barcode Formats – Convert supplier-specific barcodes to a standard format.

    • Remove Unwanted Characters – Strip prefixes/suffixes/special characters that may interfere with data capture.

    • Extract Specific Data – Parse out only the necessary data (e.g., SKU, batch) from a multi-part barcode.

    • Support Multiple Barcode Types – Convert multiple symbologies into a unified identifier for internal use.

    Please see an example of a typical Dynamic Input script below
