What are Output Templates?
Output Template
An Output Template is a sequence of components that defines your data collection workflow
Components can be configured and arranged to create custom scanning workflows.
Example:
#
What Components do?
Each component produces an output and may:
- Require user interaction on the mobile device
- Execute an action on the computer
#
Example
Explanation:
- BARCODE captures the barcode from the mobile device
- NUMBER prompts the user to enter a quantity
- SELECT_OPTION prompts the user to select an option
- ALERT displays an alert message on the mobile device
- ENTER simulates the Enter key press on the computer
#
Where does the output go?
Component output is sent to the Keyboard Emulation engine and to any configured CSV or Excel files.
A sample output CSV file generated by the Output Template looks like this:
Barcode,Quantity,MyOption
123456789,1,Option 1
123456789,2,Option 2
123456789,3,Option 3Skip output
To execute components without sending output to the computer or CSV files, enable the Skip output option for the component.

Configuration
Configure your Output Template by arranging components:
- Launch the Barcode to PC server on your computer
