Glazing Cells

 It is possible to define glazing cells, a cell is blocker / edger combination.  It is also possible to set rules to indicate which cell is preferred for certain orders, for example based on the lens material or the frame type.  

Such a case, may be to direct Polycarbonate lenses to a particular cell or rimless frames.


There is setting to turn on this feature. Glazing cells may be set in order entry or view job which is also where the rules for the cells are defined.

 There has been for a long time the means to prevent certain indexes being used for rimless lenses.

A similar feature now exists for Supra / Grooved frames.  

In the settings:

Job Entry / Checks / Materials not allowed with Supra/Grooved frames

, you need to enter the combination of the Organic/Mineral flag and the refractive index as set in the lenses csv files.

For example O1498.

Multiple entries are separated with a : eg O1498:O1500
