Rules: Criteria Linked to Actions
In ADF, data is customized through rules. These rules perform detailed actions when the
data meets certain criteria. One rule may consist of single or multiple criteria applied to
single or multiple actions.
data meets certain criteria. One rule may consist of single or multiple criteria applied to
single or multiple actions.
For instance, a data formatting rule could be the following:
Criteria:
When scan data is Code 39, length 12, and data at the start position is
the string “129”,
the string “129”,
Actions:
pad all sends with zeros to length 8,
send all data up to X,
send a space.
send all data up to X,
send a space.
If a Code 39 bar code of 1299X1559828 is scanned, the following is transmitted:
00001299<space>. If a Code 39 bar code of 1299X15598 is scanned, this rule is ignored
because the length criteria has not been met.
00001299<space>. If a Code 39 bar code of 1299X15598 is scanned, this rule is ignored
because the length criteria has not been met.
The rule specifies the editing conditions and requirements before data transmission occurs.
