Is it possible to classify documents based on a barcode locator?

Question / Problem:

Is it possible to classify documents based on a barcode locator?

If so, how can I accomplish that?

Answer / Solution:

Yes, it is possible, and can be accomplished through scripting.

Follow the procedures below:

1. Create a barcode locator on project level (locators on project level will be executed before any classification takes place).
2. Create a field on project level (e.g. named "Barcode").
3. Connect the field with the locator.
4. Add the following code to the project script:
                     Private Sub Document_BeforeClassifyXDoc(pXDoc As CASCADELib.CscXDocument,
                                       bSkip As Boolean)
  Dim BarcodeText As String
  BarcodeText = pXDoc.Fields.ItemByName("Barcode").Text
  If BarcodeText = "12345" Then
     pXDoc.Reclassify "Form12345"
  ElseIf BarcodeText = "678890" Then
     pXDoc.Reclassify "Form678890"
  Else
     ' continue with normal classification
  End If
End Sub
