Testing Notes #

When testing Dynamic Validation, create a barcode using the following format:

LocationPrefix=DynamicValidationPrefix-TicketNumber

1. Go to https://barcode.tec-it.com/en/
2. Select Linear Codes > Code128.
3. Enter the full barcode value using the format above.

Example:

For a Boston Red Sox event, the barcode would be:

TBN=ABCD-12345678

When configuring the Minimum Length and Maximum Length fields in the Admin Portal:

• Do not account for the LocationPrefix= (for example, TBN=).
• Include the hyphen (-), as it counts as a character.

For the barcode:

TBN=ABCD-12345678

Configure:

• Minimum Length: 4
• Maximum Length: 13
