When working in the field, typing information is often tedious and a source of collection errors.\u00a0 While there are many ways to improve the efficiency of collecting attribute information, one of the most useful is through using barcodes.\u00a0 We find barcodes on many items, from cereal boxes to books.\u00a0 Capturing barcodes is fast, accurate, and doesn’t require any additional equipment. In this blog post we’ll show you how to quickly capture barcodes in Collector. In addition, we’ll use arcade expressions to decipher information stored in the barcode to make it available immediately to those in the field as well as the office.<\/p>\n

The natural gas industry in the US is required to be able to identify information for any gas distribution component.\u00a0 This includes production date, manufacturer, component size or sizes for a given gas distribution components encoded using the ASTM F2897 standard<\/a>. The specification defines requirements for the data and the format of the resultant barcode to characterize various components used in fuel gas piping systems. Each gas component has a printed barcode that stores this information in a compact manner.\u00a0 Unfortunately, the compact nature means it is difficult to understand the information it contains.<\/p>\n

In this example we are capturing the barcode on a gas component in the field using Collector. We’ll use a series of Arcade expressions to make the information available in the field, even when disconnected.\u00a0 In addition, this is also available to others inside or outside the organization.<\/div>\n

Capturing the barcode<\/h3>\n

Let’s start off by capturing a barcode for a new gas service line.\u00a0 From within Collector it’s easy to access the barcode scanner and populate any text or numeric field. In our case we’re using a field specifically intended to store the scanned barcode value. This is a really efficient way to accurately capture information about an asset in the field.\u00a0\u00a0Once we’ve scanned the barcode, we submit the edit.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":426392,"id":426392,"title":"capture-barcode-collector","filename":"capture-barcode-collector.gif","filesize":131680,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/01\/capture-barcode-collector.gif","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/collector\/field-mobility\/capture-barcodes-arcade-collector\/capture-barcode-collector","alt":"","author":"8072","description":"","caption":"","name":"capture-barcode-collector","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":307442,"date":"2019-01-30 20:03:26","modified":"2019-01-30 20:03:26","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/gif","type":"image","subtype":"gif","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":282,"height":500,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/01\/capture-barcode-collector-150x150.gif","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/01\/capture-barcode-collector-169x300.gif","medium-width":147,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/01\/capture-barcode-collector.gif","medium_large-width":282,"medium_large-height":500,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/01\/capture-barcode-collector.gif","large-width":282,"large-height":500,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/01\/capture-barcode-collector.gif","1536x1536-width":282,"1536x1536-height":500,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/01\/capture-barcode-collector.gif","2048x2048-width":282,"2048x2048-height":500,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/01\/capture-barcode-collector-262x465.gif","card_image-width":262,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/01\/capture-barcode-collector.gif","wide_image-width":282,"wide_image-height":500}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
