For Code 128 scans for example, the clipping area is square, but most of the true barcode types are rectangular in shape. If the shape of the clipping area was user-selectable, barcode scanning would be much more accurate. A square clipping area simply does not make sense for the majority of barcode types - only a few types, such as QR codes are square.</P><P>We also find a rectangular clipping are more useful for selectin specific barcodes when there are multiple barcodes in close proximity - see the screen cap attached:</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 15 Jul 2020 04:53:48 GMT AdrianDoss 2020-07-15T04:53:48Z Customisable barcode scan clipping area in Survey123 https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-ideas/customisable-barcode-scan-clipping-area-in/idi-p/934492 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>When scanning barcodes in Survey123, a user has no control over the scan clipping area - it is set according to the type of barcode(s) selected in the scanning options.

Having the ability to adjust the shape of the scan area would help this immensely (even if it is just done in Survey123 Connect).</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 14 Sep 2020 17:25:52 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-ideas/customisable-barcode-scan-clipping-area-in/idc-p/934493#M443 BrackenDavis 2020-09-14T17:25:52Z
