See the 2D Barcode Scanning in the Client Portal section below for more information on how to use this feature in the Client Portal.
Currently, javascript is the language available to set up the the translation for the barcodes.
To get to the Barcode And Import Configuration section, go to Client Portal Settings > Barcode And Import Configuration.
