Using GetBarCodes action

Use the GetBarCodes action in the IQ Bot Pre-processor package to detect and extract all available barcodes from a document.

1. Drag the IQ Bot pre-processor > GetBarCodes action into your workflow.
2. Select the input file from Control Room file, Desktop file or Variable.
3. Optional: If you selected Control Room file or Desktop file, click Browse to change the default filepath.
4. Use the List of dictionaries with 7 keys drop-down menu to select the output format for the extracted strings.
   If the document has multiple barcodes, multiple dictionaries are used as each dictionary corresponds to a single barcode. Each dictionary has the following seven keys that relate to the various attributes of the barcode in a document:

   • Page number of the document where a barcode is available
   • Type of the barcode
   • Value of the barcode
   • X coordinate of the barcode
   • Y coordinate of the barcode.
   • Width of the barcode
   • Height of the barcode
5. Click Save.
   When the bot runs successfully, the extracted barcodes are assigned to the output variable.
