Configuring the Markdown Workflow

Configure the Markdown workflow in the Scandit Express dashboard to help users efficiently manage tasks related to product recalls.

The configuration can only be done via the Code Editor in the Advanced section of the dashboard:

Code Editor

Configuration Options​

The Markdown workflow can be configured using the following options:

OptionDescriptionExample Value
typeThe type of workflow. This should always be set to markdown.markdown
labelCaptureSettingsSettings for label capture, including the fields to capture and their validation rules.JSON, see example below
daysUntilExpiryInteger value representing the number of days until the item expires.3
expiryDateFieldObject that contains name and other properties for the item.ExpiryDateField

Each expiryDateField object must include the following properties:

  • name: The name of the field to capture (This should find a match the labelCaptureSettings.labelDefinitions.fields[i].name).
  • expiredValue: Message to be shown when item is expired.
  • actionNeededValue: Message to be shown when item is going to expire.
  • noActionNeededValue: Message to be shown when item is not close to expiry.
