Squeeze / Wiggle room

There are a couple of features which allow orders where the minimum size uncut is calculated to be just above a catalogue diameter.

For finished lenses there is a setting in Job Entry / Finished Lens Diameter / Still use finished if MSU exceeds diameter by.

If this is set to 1 then diameters up to 71mm will still pick a 70mm finished lens.

For Rx lenses, there is a setting Calculation / Show Squeeze in.  This will enable a link on the order entry screen "Squeeze". If this is clicked then the glazing allowance is reduced to 0.1mm.

In addition, if the PD is wished to be changed to make the lens fit, then there is  ? by the PD. If this is clicked then a table will be shown. This will indicate the diameter calculated for different PDs and whether it is acceptable according to standards.

Running reports automatically

Some reports such as Distribution of WIP can be set to be run automatically.

To do this, log in as an admin user and go to the report. Right click on the report and see if there is an option "Save Report Settings".  If there is then this can be run automatically.

Make the selections as needed and then select "Save Report Settings".

If the report that you wish does not have the "Save Report Settings" then please inform and the feasibility of adding this report will be looked into


In order to run the reports then Annapurna is run with parameter AUTOREPORTS.  It would typically be added as an option into Santiago so that it is run at a regular time every day.

Colour on Layouts

There is now option to set colour on the layouts.

A default colour can be set as part of the printer selection.

Individual fields can have a colour set by clicking on the colour caption in the bottom right alongside where the size of the font is set.

Operator Report

There is a new report to show orders entered by the operator, both manually or by EDI.
