Introduction

Operating Modes

EventCode+ can be used in two operating modes.

• In the first mode "Barcode Scanner", the camera can be used to capture common one-dimensional and two-dimensional barcodes. You may then view, process and archive the contents.
• The second option is to use the "Ticket Validation" feature, which serves to verify and validate self-made tickets.

User Interface

• The app will launch to the scanner view and display a live camera feed.
• At the bottom of the screen is the history drawer. The details of the last scanned barcode will be displayed here.
  • By swiping the upper edge of the drawer, the history table can be expanded and a list of all history entries becomes visible.
  • When tapping an entry, a popover window appears displaying the entry's details.
  • This window also contains several buttons for performing individual content actions utilizing the barcode's payload (such as opening a URL in the browser or copying text to the clipboard).
  • The entries displayed in the history table depend on the operating mode which is currently enabled. There is a separate list for each mode ("Barcode Scanner" and "Ticket Validation").
• In the center of the screen is the scanning area (a rectangle with four large dots). The app tries to detect all barcodes from the camera feed located inside of this scanning area.
  • As soon as a barcode is recognized, the scan area lights up briefly and a signal sounds.
  • The result of the recognition will be displayed immediately in the history drawer.
• In the upper right corner is a slider button for switching between the two operating modes "Barcode Scanner" and "Ticket Validation". You'll also find a button with a ticket icon for opening the integrated event and ticket management.
  • The "Camera" and "Screen" buttons can be used to switch between camera and screen capture on macOS. For each of the two modes, a corresponding permission must be granted when used for the first time.
• In the upper left corner is the torch light control (iOS/iPhoneOS only), the "Camera" and "Screen" buttons for selecting the input mode (macOS only) and a button with a gear icon to open the settings view.
  • The LED light (if present) on the back of your device can be used to illuminate the scanning area in several brightness levels. This ensures optimal barcode recognition even in a dark environment. Torch light control is only available on iOS/iPhoneOS and only if the device features an LED light.
  • The "Camera" and "Screen" buttons can be used to switch between camera and screen capture on macOS (see section "Capture Control"). For each of the two functions, an appropriate permission must be granted upon first use.
• The scanner view may transition to a side-by-side layout.
  • This will display the history drawer on the left side, while moving the scan area the right side.
  • Switching occurs on iOS/iPadOS if the device is held in landscape orientation (provided that the rotation lock has not been enabled).
  • Switching occurs on macOS if the window is resized appropriately (and sidebar control is disabled).
  • The sidebar control options can be found in the "View" menu on the menu bar at the top of the screen (macOS only).
    • In "Auto" mode, the sidebar is automatically shown or hidden depending on the size of the main window.
    • If "Enabled" or "Disabled" is selected, the sidebar is forced to be permanently shown or hidden.
