Overview
This extension is a widget which allows you to conveniently and securely generate visual representations of codes (i.e. barcodes and QR codes) directly from your Zoho CRM instance. Currently it is available in the Products module, as well as in the detailed views of Products in this module.
The visual representations are automatically updated while you type or when changing any of the settings. Furthermore, changed settings can be saved so that they stay the same every time you use the extension in the future, saving you precious time.
When the extension is used from within a Product’s detailed view, a dropdown menu allows you to conveniently select any of the non-empty fields of the Product, the value of which will be immediately represented as a barcode or QR code. However, you can still input a custom code.
In Barcode mode any input is allowed (not only valid GTIN codes). The extension will automatically check any input provided and perform a real-time GTIN format and checksum validation. If the inputted code passes the validation, a hint will be displayed with the type of GTIN detected (GTIN-8, GTIN-12, GTIN-13, GTIN-14).
This extension has been designed with privacy and security in mind and therefore all operations take place in your CRM instance and in your browser. No data is sent to any third-party.
