 ====== Adding and Maintaining Barcode Administrations ======
-Barcode Administration is used to create and maintain Barcode Rules.
+Barcode Administration is used to create and maintain [[concepts:barcode_rule|Barcode Rules]].
 Without Barcode Administration Rules set, [[concepts:barcode|Barcodes]] cannot be read while using the [[desktop:scan_window|Desktop Scanning Window]].
-Each Barcode Rule defines which characters in a given [[concepts:barcode|Barcode]] correspond with the [[object:customer|Customer-ID]], [[object:media|Media-ID]], and [[object:volume|Volume-ID]].
+Each [[concepts:barcode_rule|Barcode Rule]] defines which characters in a given [[concepts:barcode|Barcode]] correspond with the [[object:customer|Customer-ID]], [[object:media|Media-ID]], and [[object:volume|Volume-ID]].
+TapeTrack has, by default, several Barcode Rules when installed that encompass most generic barcode formats.
+Any unique Barcode formats you may use in your operations may need a custom Barcode Rule to be added.
 ===== Barcode Administration =====
-To add, view or modify a Barcode rule open the Barcode Administration window by selecting ''Administration'' -> ''Barcode Administration''.

-  * ''Enabled'': When set to "True," the [[concepts:barcode_rule|Barcode Rule]] will be used to identify [[object:volume|Volumes]].
+  * ''Enabled'': When set to "True," the [[concepts:barcode_rule|Barcode Rule]] is active and will be used when trying to parse [[object:volume|Volume-ID's]].  ''False'' sets the [[concepts:barcode_rule|Barcode Rule]] to inactive and is skipped when trying to parse [[object:volume|Volume-ID's]].

   * ''Barcode Pattern'':  The Barcode Pattern uses TapeTrack Filters to define what this type of Barcode looks like. For example, "???.???.??????L[3-5]" would look for a 16 character Barcode with periods in character positions 4 and 8, an L in character position 15 and any number between 3 and 5 inclusive in character position 16. If a scanned Barcode does not meet this pattern, the next [[concepts:barcode_rule|Barcode Rule]] on the list will be referenced.
   * ''User Pattern'': Many enterprises include [[object:customer|Customer-IDs]] in their [[object:user|User-IDs]] or have various other patterns to define a [[object:user|User]]. If this is the case, use TapeTrack Filters to enter patterns of [[object:user|Users]] that should have access to this rule. Using the asterisk (*) will make this [[concepts:barcode_rule|Barcode Rule]] available to all [[object:user|Users]].
-  * ''Range Start / Range End'': Setting a range will set the Scope of the [[concepts:barcode_rule|Barcode Rule]] to a specific range of numbers or letters. For example, a Range of 000500L4 to 000750L4 will only apply this [[concepts:barcode_rule|Barcode Rule]] to [[object:volume|Volumes]] 000500L4 - 000750L4. [[object:volume|Volumes]] below 000499L4 and above 000751L4 will require additional Barcode Rules.
