The Barcode Field is used to generate and display a barcode. The barcode’s type can be selected from 19 different options, and its value can be derived from a static value, XML element, or target.
The barcode’s text, and checksum can be hidden or displayed.
The barcode’s height, width, color, and background color can be customized.
