Example
You can configure an Electronic reporting (ER) format to generate an outbound document in Microsoft Office format (Excel workbooks or Word documents) by using a predefined template. This template may contain a Picture object (Excel workbook) or a Picture Content Control (Word document) as a placeholder for a QR code image. You need to add to the configured ER format a Cell element that will be used to fill this placeholder in. To specify what information will be stored in a QR code, you need to define a binding for this Cell element. For example, you can configure such binding as containing the following expression:
QRCODE (model.ListOfShelfLabels.LabelText)`
When you run the configured ER format, the text value of the LabelText field of the model.ListOfShelfLabels data source will be used to generate a QR code image. This image will replace a QR code image placeholder in the document template using to generate an outbound document. When this image of the generated document is scanned, it returns the text that was taken from the LabelText field of the model.ListOfShelfLabels data source.
