1 Overview

Use the Barcode field to scan barcodes or QR codes from DingTalk mobile and capture their content (numbers, text, URLs) into AI Table for downstream use.

2 Basics

2.1 Add a barcode field

In a grid view, click + in the upper-right of the toolbar — pick Barcode under field types. In a form view, pick Barcode from the question list to collect barcodes via the form. In a form view, pick Barcode from the question list — toggle mobile scan only as needed.

2.2 Enter barcodes

With mobile scan only off, you can type manually or scan from mobile. With mobile scan only on, only mobile scanning works. To use it: open the record detail / form link on mobile, tap Scan, and the QR / barcode content fills the cell.

2.3 Manage and edit the field

Double-click the field title or click the dropdown — copy, paste, freeze, etc.
