Tint Selector

Tint Selector.

In the Data Panel there is a new button Tint Details. If you bring this up then it will show a list of tints. Click on a tint and indicate whether Solid / Graduated, Colour Group and Density. You can also set a Commercial code.

The commercial code is used for pricing so if a supplier has 100 tints at the same price then they can be set to the same commercial code, making that part easier. The data is stored as extra columns in the treat.csv file so once you have added one or two then you may find it easier to continue using your favourite spreadsheet program.

In the lens picker screen, there is a link by the tint combobox. If pressed then the user is asked to select Solid/Graduated, Colour Family and Density and a list of matching tints is shown.

Note that Density is used as we are not specifically specifing Absorption or Light Transmission. It may make easier for all to use if Absorption (ABS) or Light Transmission (LTF) is set in the tint description.

Glazed Promotion Pricing

There is a new feature which is aimed at labs wishing to give special prices for the combination of lenses into certain frame types.  Typically this would be for customers where the lab is offering special deals on supra or rimless glazing for certain products.
