Generating a Code

Overview

Click Codes in the sidebar to open the Barcode & QR Code Generator. It has five tabs:

TabWhat it is for
GenerateCreate one code at a time and print its label (this article)
Bulk GenerateCreate many codes at once from a CSV or Excel file
Code RegistryEvery code you have generated — search, print, and manage them
Print TemplatesDesign the labels your codes are printed on
SettingsHow codes are numbered, per-type prefixes, printer defaults, and your logo

The Generate Tab

The Generate tab opens first. Work through its three steps on the left; the Preview on the right shows the code as you go.

Generate tab with three steps — Choose a template, Fill label values, Generate & Print — and a QR code preview on the right

Step 1: Choose a Template

Pick a Print template from the dropdown. Once you pick one, only the label fields that template uses are shown below. Leave it empty if you only want to generate a code without printing it.

Step 2: Fill Label Values

Fill in the details you want on the label. All are optional:

  • Display name — the name printed on the label
  • MRP (₹) and Offer Price (₹)
  • Brand
  • Batch / Serial
  • Expiry

Step 3: Generate & Print

ButtonWhat it does
Labels to printHow many copies of the label to print
Generate & PrintCreates the code and prints it. Needs a template from Step 1
Generate OnlyCreates the code without printing it
ResetClears the form so you can start again

Every code you generate — printed or not — appears in the Code Registry tab.

Advanced Settings

Click Advanced settings at the bottom to open more options for the code.

Preview

The Preview shows the code and its value underneath, for example PRD000001. Click the copy icon below it to copy the code value. Pick a template in Step 1 to see exactly how the printed label will look.

Tip: Printing and Labels to print stay greyed out until you choose a template. Use Generate Only when you just need the code.
