Printing out barcodes?

Benjamin Nuttin · ‎01-26-2011

We would like the ability to print out asset receiving forms to send to our vendors. These forms would have data from the system, mostly in the form of text fields and the like, but they would also have barcodes. These would simply be a representation of the asset serial numbers in a special "barcode" typeface. Has anyone done this before? Any idea how we can implement this? Thanks!!

That's pretty cool! It worked well for me. I put the code39.js code in a UI Script named "code39" and then included it on a UI Page with the HTML:



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">
  <g:include_script src="code39.jsdbx"/>
  <div id="externalbox" style="width:5in">
     <div id="my_barcode" />
  </div> 
</j:jelly>

And then UI Page's Client Script is:



$("my_barcode").innerHTML=DrawCode39Barcode("123456789",1);

I know this is old and has been answered, but in case anyone ends up back here looking for info on barcode creation I wanted to update this to point to the Barcode Label Generator available on Share. The Barcode Label Generator installs as a plugin and creates barcodes for display or print in a number of formats. Check it out here:ServiceNow Share

Thanks to Ben Hollifield for providing this awesome plugin!

Thanks Eric! This is very timely. I just had a requirement to be able to print out barcodes. I set this up in a few minutes and it works perfectly.

Have you ever seen any integrations that use barcode scanners to read barcodes and input into Service-now? I'm thinking like a receiving type of situation where someone in a receiving area would get something delivered and scan it in to record it in Service-now.
