Barcodes Wizard – This configuration wizard allows you to select the barcode subformats to be included a barcode validation policy. These subformats are defined using the Barcode Format Wizard.

Barcode Format Wizard – This configuration wizard allows you to define the characteristics of the barcode subformat policy including: barcode type, minimum length, maximum length, required characters, character set, preprocessing, check digit offset, and more. The DRA Classic-style barcode subformats are delivered.
