Cut off time

For those labs that continue working after the jobs have been collected for the day, there is now a cut off time.

If this is set then any jobs completed after this time will have the completed date set to the next working day.  The comments on the job will show the actual time the job was completed.

This means that shipping notes for a day will include any jobs completed on the previous working day after the cut off time.

Virtual Lens and Own lens codes with standard Macros

Virtual lens.

For some lenses, the prescription for both eyes need to be sent even if only one eye is required.

Annapurna can now identify these lenses from the Macro questions asked. If the order is for one lens then both prescriptions should be entered but there will only be pricing for one lens. The macro question will inform via Solenzara which lens is to be supplied.


Macros.

If a catalogue is imported then the macros (freeform questions) are also bought down for use with the catalogue. If a lab has their own lens codes then the macros questions were not linked to the lens codes so they did not appear.

It is now possible to connect own lens codes to a downloaded Macro.

First, download one lens that has a macro.  
Second, select a lens that has the manufacturer name that matches the downloaded macro.
Third,  click on Macros. The freeform questions now appear.  Go to the lenses tab. Select lenses (the filter option is useful here) and you can pick multiple lenses. Select a macro  from the list of available macros and then click “Set lens to selected macro”.  

There is still a drawback – if the catalogue is downloaded again from the site then the bespoke additions will be lost and need to be added back again.

This update allows different prices for lenses to be applied depending on the frame chosen to be supplied.

More information here: completed pricing.doc

Error Handling

A new feature for handling errors has been added. Instead of a message eg List Index out of bounds, or Access Violation error the following screen will appear.



The correct action does depend on the context. Sometimes you can continue the application without any problem and other times you can continue with Annapurna but avoid doing what was happening before. If the problem happens then please click on "send bug report" and the details of the problem will be sent to us so we can fix.
