Reference: Barcodes

Workday supports industry standard, multidimensional barcodes. When you scan barcodes, Workday decodes the content and adds the data to the appropriate tasks.
You can scan barcodes using Workday on:
  • Android
  • iPad
  • iPhone

Barcode Standards

We support parsing for these barcode standards:
  • GS1
  • HIBCC

Custom Parser

You can also parse the decoded barcode data string using the
Create Custom Barcode Types
task.
The Workday custom parser enables you to select the data that you want to collect from the decoded barcode data string, and its order in the task.
