Create a Barcode

Goal

Create a new barcode using the Barcode Generator in Mapp Engage.

Prerequisites

• You must have permission to create barcodes (Permission 170 or 172).

• A coupon list or custom attribute must be available if required for your barcode type.

Procedure

1. In the main navigation, go to Content > Voucher Manager > Barcodes.

2. Click Create.

3. In the Basic Settings section:

   • Enter a Name for the barcode. (The name must be unique.)

   • Optionally, add a Description to help identify the barcode.

   • Select a Barcode Type from the drop-down list. (See Supported Barcode Types for details.)

   • If multiple domains are available, select the appropriate Domain.

4. In the Content section, select a Data Source:

   • Single Input: Manually enter static data for a single barcode. This option does not support personalization or tracking.

   • Coupon List: Use codes from an imported coupon list. A unique barcode is assigned to each recipient during sendout.

   • Attribute: Generate personalized barcodes based on a custom attribute (e.g., membership ID). The attribute value is used as the barcode content.

5. Configure optional display and layout settings if needed.

   For details, see the Create New Barcode.

6. Save the barcode:

   • Click Save to store the barcode in the Barcodes Overview.

   • Save as Content Element is only available when using Single Input as the data source. This stores the barcode in the Content Store, where it can be manually inserted into messages.

Notes

• Barcodes created with Single Input are static and can be reused.

• Barcodes based on Coupon Lists or Attributes are personalized during sendout and can be tracked.

• Layout options and available settings may vary depending on the selected barcode type.
