Add Barcodes to Report Designs

Add Barcodes to Report Designs

Create a report design file.
You can encode information in a variety of barcode formats and add them to your report designs.
  1. Drag a
    Dynamic Text
     report item from the
    Palette
     to the required position on the
    Layout
     tab of the main view.
  2. In the Expression Builder, select the
    BIRT Functions
     category and the
    IDAutomation
     subcategory, then double-click the barcode encoder you want to use. Example: Code128c.
    Report Designer adds an expression in the Expression Builder.
  3. Select the data you want to encode from the
    Available Column Bindings
     or
    Available Data Sets
     categories and their subcategories, then double-click it to enter. Report Designer adds it to the expression.
    To encode a string literal, add it in quotation marks between the parentheses in the expression.
  4. From the
    Font
     drop-down list on the
    General
     tab of the
    Properties
     view, select a barcode font that's supported by your selected encoder.
Preview your report design.
