Add barcode type column function

Your Setup:

  • SeaTable Cloud,

Describe the Problem:

I develop apps for customers in barcoding : I advise them to book a login depending of the project. I used NoCoDB solution which as column type a barcode / QrCode , but is not RGPD / GDPR.

I saw old deprecated posts about barcode parches to get a barcode depending of a variable value (see screen copy example of the barcode of a counter) .

What is the solution / the dev. planing for my customers to get an easy barcode or QR Code column please ?

Thank you

Other suggestion : Barcode function could be also integrated in a printing module

Hi @Productivix, and welcome to the SeaTable forum. SeaTable currently doesn’t have a barcode/QR code column type, but you can still actually deal with such data with a text field and some simple script:

  • in forms (traditional webforms or form pages in universal apps), you can choose for each text field if barcode/QR code in allowed as input (meaning that you can actually scan a barcode/QR code and get its value in the text field)
  • in the SeaTable developer manual, you’ll find some information about simple python scripts allowing you to generate barcode/QR code images from a text-type column and store them in an image-type column. You’ll then be able to use these images, for example in the page design plugin or in the new report design plugin

If this doesn’t fit your needs, please submit a feature request on ideas.seatable.com.

Bests,
Benjamin
