The Populate Your Documents activity reads barcode values and uses them to populate documents’ indexing properties. With the Populate Your Properties wizard, you can configure multiple barcode rules to detect different barcode types and populate different properties.
NOTE: Barcodes can contain single values as plain text or multiple values in JSON format. If you want to populate multiple values with a single barcode, you should separate keys and values with a colon, separate properties with a comma, and enclose everything withing curly braces. For Example: {'Property 1':'Value 1', 'Property 2':'Value 2'}
