Creating barcodes and QR codes in FileMaker is easier than ever. Using the free demo file from Productive Computing University, you will be able to use a single script step to generate both traditional barcodes and QR codes directly within FileMaker 2025. No fonts, no plug-ins, and no complex setup are required
If you’re managing inventory, printing labels, or sharing links, this approach makes it quick to generate professional barcodes and QR codes with minimal effort. The only requirement is an internet connection during the creation process. Once generated, the images are stored in container fields and can be used offline.
In the video, you’ll learn how to:
- Create traditional barcodes such as Code 39 and Code 128 using the Insert from URL script step.
- Generate QR codes that link to websites, Wi-Fi networks, or any text-based data.
- Adjust barcode properties like size, color, and text placement using custom parameters.
- Automate error handling when barcode data doesn’t meet format requirements.
- Export or print barcodes directly from FileMaker for use in labels, inventory, or tracking systems.
