Barcode Reader Widget
Business Background
Let your customers scan barcodes and update Salesforce records with the information.
Titan Solution
Titan Web lets you add a barcode reader to your projects. Customers using desktop devices can upload a barcode image. Customers using mobile devices will be able to take a photo of the barcode and upload the data.
Add any conditional logic to the barcode reader. For instance, a user can scan the barcode of a product and get information from the ProductID (for instance, the warranty) from Salesforce in real time. The user can push information to Salesforce or trigger any other action that suits your business needs.

How to Guide
You can configure the barcode reader for desktop devices or mobile devices. The configuration process is the same.
- Click on the + icon to add an element.
- Under Widgets, drag the Barcode Reader widget to the canvas.
- Click on the Gear icon to open the BarcodeReader Settings.
- Under Interactivity, click on the On Scan Action button. The On Click Action screen opens.
- Click on the + icon to open the Add node screen. You can add any logic you may need here using the Barcode Reader/Value.
The Titan attribute Barcode Reader/Value is the barcode’s numeric value retained after the scan is completed, for example:
Once this value has been populated in Titan, you can use it to do multiple actions:
- Salesforce Get
- Salesforce Push
- Action Flows, etc.
In our example, a message is added to the “on scan complete” of the barcode reader.
- Under Layout Actions, click on the Show message option. The Add Node/Show message screen opens.
- Type a message in the body field.
- Use the All Element drop-down list to add the Barcode Reader/Value. This will return the numeric value of the barcode.
- Click on the Next button.
- Add a tag if necessary and click on the Insert button.
- Click on the Apply button on the On Click Action screen.
- Save and Preview the project for the following:

Desktop devices
