Title/Caption: We need to add sub barcode searches and custom fields
Start Date: 9/20/2017
Main Status: Active
Sorry, no photos available for this element of time.

Notes:
We have had clients ask for custom barcodes per sub packages and per sub inventory child items. This could be really easy if we added a new sub_barcode field to the time_sub_inventory_[53]. We need the same kind of functionality on the mini conversion table as well. Basically, the users are wanting to come up with their own barcodes for the sub packages and smaller subs of subs. We could then make the field searchable and built-in to work with all of our normal barcode searches. We could even allow the barcode to hold more values than the normal 15 characters (the show value maxes at 15 but we allow up to 50 characters to be stored - the problem is how much room it takes to show that many characters in a normal 128-B barcode).

The other option would be to push more on the QR code. The QR code could also be the answer to whatever is needed. It might be nice to add an automated QR code generator or tie it into the flash builder. As a side note, we are seeing people storing and/or adding more sub details, sub locations, sub attributes, etc. into the QR codes themselves. Almost a mini database of sorts right on the QR code.
