Generate Barcodes

← All WonderLister user guides

Produces a QR code for each selected listing or listing template, alongside the identifier it encodes. Print
them and stick them on the stock, and finding an item later is a matter of scanning rather than searching.

No screenshot. Barcodes are generated for a selection of listings, and the account the capture run
signs in as has none suitable, so there is nothing for it to photograph. The page is a single table, described
below.

Where to find it

Select the rows on Listings or
Listing Templates, then Generate BarCodes from the
toolbar — it is under Miscellaneous in the icon layout.

The columns

Column What it shows
Listing Id WonderLister’s identifier for the item.
Title The item’s title, so you can tell one label from another before printing.
Id Type What kind of identifier the code carries — a SKU, a listing id, or another identifier.
Id Value The value itself, in readable form. Worth printing next to the code, so a label is still usable when a scanner is not to hand.
QR Code The code itself.
A code is only as good as what it encodes. If the codes are to be scanned to find stock, the
items need identifiers worth scanning — a SKU you actually use. Items with no SKU produce a code for whatever
identifier is available, which is less useful on a shelf.

How to use it

  1. Select the items — a folder of newly received stock is the usual case.
  2. Open Generate BarCodes.
  3. Print the page from your browser, and cut the labels up.

FAQ

Q: The codes are too small or too large to print.
A: Use your browser’s print scaling. The page is an ordinary table, so it prints like
one.
Q: What does the code contain?
A: Whatever the Id Value column shows for that row — that is the
point of showing it in readable form beside the code.
Q: Can I generate codes for listing templates?
A: Yes — the action is on both grids.
Q: Can I choose which identifier is encoded?
A: The identifier comes from the item. Give your items SKUs and the codes become
SKU codes.
