Hi Community,
has anyone already developed client report showing QR code?
Could you share the tips and tricks developing it?
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Hi
What is the value of the code? Is is static and similar to all reports or unique code per report?
Cheers!
Hi
the value of the code will be unique per report. So it will be combined values of some table columns. (e.g., req_id + task_id + part_id).

Hey
I don’t think it is supported without a customisation. Reports have a static structure and only values change. A QR code is not a regular value that can be added to the report.
You might want to consider a custom code.
Cheers!
QR code is just another type of barcode and there is barcode support in report designer, but yes you need to customize the report (layout and server code) perhaps if you want to use it, if the report don’t have it already.
There is many reports in applications with barcode already built in, but I don’t know if any have QR code, but it is just basically connecting a value field in report designer and setting it to be a QR/Bar-code.
Hi
thank you for your feedbacks.
Indeed, barcode is available in FSM baseline reports. And yes, basically building report with QRcode similar to Barcode.
Trying to build the QRcode report now, and will see whether the code can be previewed in FSM application.

Hi
you mentioned about code customization for report with QR code (dynamic value), is it because the qr-code library does not exist in FSM report viewer yet?
~Juni
Hi
Sorry, but I am not sure about your question.
Cheers!
Hi
sorry for not explaining it in detailed.
In the conversation above you mentioned about “

FSM can generate Barcode.
Is the custom code you mentioned related to library in FSM to generate the QRcode, which is currently not available in FSM?

Hi
I am not aware of the libraries that are available (or not) in FSM.
Generally speaking, I am not aware of any configurations that support a QR code in reports.
Cheers!
Hi
thanks for your response.

Hi
As far as I can recall, only the barcodes can be achieved through the baseline ui client library in the rdlc file by defining an image control with type image/jpeg. Under the value you will need to define something similar to below.
<Value>=Metrix.UI.ClientReports.Util.GetBarcode("*" + Fields!your_column_name.Value + "*", 30)</Value>
30 is the barcode width / height.
This needs to be done only for the client rdlc report.
I have seen similar extended versions of report implementations (picking lists) in some customer environments.
But for QR I'm not too sure whether there's an available function in the same library
Hi
thank you for your feedback.
If I understand well about that method will only print barcode. It seems no function for QRCode available yet in the same library.
Feel free to upvote this idea QRCode in FSM Client Report | IFS Community for improvement in FSM.

Unfortunately, I doubt if the product team will accept any enhancement ideas to FSM6.
Cheers!
ahh… It’s so unfortunate!
But let’s hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
