Exporting Labels with baRcodeR

baRcodeR is an R package for labeling, tracking, and organizing samples based on 2D barcodes (QR codes). In production, a PyTrackDat application allows users to export labels for database table entries based on values of the table’s primary key. This allows for the unique identification of physical objects (e.g. samples), linking them to their corresponding database entries.

To export baRcodeR labels from a PyTrackDat application, first click on the dashboard entry for the table you wish to export labels for. Select all data that you wish to label using the checkboxes available.

Then, use the dropdown action menu to select the “Export baRcodeR labels (PDF) for selected” action and click “Go”. This will download a PDF file onto your local computer with the QR code labels.
