Introduction:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dynamics 365 introduced a new control for native mobile capabilities like reading barcode value using Barcode Scanner Control in Dynamics 365 for Phones and Tablets.<\/p>\n

We had a business requirement where we needed to read the barcode of a product and set the barcode value in the field when the user updates the cases for particular products from phones and tablets.<\/p>\n

We can use new Barcode Scanner Control for phones and tablets in Dynamics 365 by following the below-mentioned steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. First, we add new “Product Barcode Value” field (Single Line of Text field type) on case entity form.\"1\"<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. After adding a field, we open the field properties of the same field and then click on “Add Control”.\"2\"<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Then select the Barcode Scanner control and click on “Add”.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \"3\"<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. After adding control, enable the control for phone and tablet.\"4\"<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            \n
          1. Now, open the case entity record in phones\/tablets and click on “Product Barcode Value” field.\"5\"<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
              \n
            1. Under the field, we get the control icon of Barcode Scanner. Click on the Barcode Scanner icon, as seen in the screenshot.\"6\"<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                \n
              1. After clicking on the Barcode Scanner icon, it will redirect to the Barcode Scanning screen.\"7\"<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                  \n
                1. It reads the barcode and sets the barcode value in the respective field.\"8\"Note:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                    \n
                  1. Barcode Scanner Control supports Single Line of Text field type only.<\/li>\n
                  2. We can call read barcode value method programmatically using Dynamics 365 new Client APIs. Check out this article<\/a> for more details.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    Conclusion:<\/strong><\/p>\n

                    New control for native mobile capabilities in Dynamics 365 helps enrich the user experience for the mobile business user in Sales, Field Service and other areas.<\/p>\n
