This field allows users to scan a barcode using the device’s camera instead of typing the code manually.

How It Works:

  • Tap the Barcode Scan icon.

  • Point your camera at the barcode — the system will automatically capture and fill the code/ data into the field.

Additional Options:

    • Numeric-only values

    • Alphanumeric codes

    • Specific length or pattern (for validation purposes)

This helps ensure that only valid barcode data is entered.
