I am trying to update our inventory system to Smartsheets and I want to take a picture of a Barcode and instead of geting the picture of the Bar Code I am getting just the numbers. How can I go about fixing this?
Hi Justin,
iOS or Android? On iOS, there are two choices, a barcode scan or camera.
I hope this helps you!

Andree,
I am using an iOS system. I have tried using both and only the camera feature works.
I would prefer to use the Barcode scan instead any thoughts?
Where in the sheet are you when you're trying to take a photo of the barcode?
on the desk in my office. I am working on a demo to make sure it is going to work before i label the boxes
I meant on the Smartsheet sheet, which cell, column type and so on. Maybe it isn't working because what you're trying isn't supported.
I am in the barcode tab
The only thing is that the barcode does have letters in it as well. Does that matter or will that work and also is there specific types of barcode fonts that can be used?
No that doesn't matter because it scans the letters also. Can you take a screenshot and share with me so that I can see where you are trying to take a photo?
Here you have what codes that are supported: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/2476211-using-the-smartsheet-app-for-ios#scanbarcodes
Here is the screenshot of where I am trying to place the barcode.
Strange, it works for me. Can you share the sheet or make a copy of it and share that?
I just sent you the share of the copy of the sheet for you to review for me and to see what I might be doing wrong
Thanks!
I tried all the options, and it works for me. Can you try with another barcode to see if that works and can you also take a picture of the barcode that isn't working?
I tried a different bar code and got the same results.
I have attached a copy of the barcode that is not working.
You did this as a picture not the barcode scan which is what I was trying to do on the app itself.
Is that the only thing that is working currently on the app the picture version
I tried all the options. I'll upload how it looks on my side on my iPhone. Can you check if you see something that's not the same for you?
Sure.
Please let me know when you have uploaded.
Thanks
I have a form that will be filled out internally. There's a cell labeled "Department" which contains 8 dropdown list values. There's a another cell called "Executives" which are the leaders of these departments. In the form, I'm attempting to do a logic where when you choose a specific "Department", then the cell…
I shared access to a user to a specific folder under workspace A (folder is 2025-09-Service Factory). However, I can see that he's shown to have access to all the other child folders under 02-ACTIVE Initiatives. Why is that when I only shared out one folder? Is there a way to only share access to users to ONLY specific…
