Annapurna – Configuring Autoreports.
Annapurna has the means to run reports automatically. Typically, a task would be created in
Santiago or Windows Task Scheduler to launch Annapurna in a special mode to run
reports and other tasks and then close down.
The filename contains the instructions for Annapurna
to follow.
To set up the instructions, Annapurna is started with an
additional parameter: AUTOCONFIG.
So Annapurna.exe AUTOREPORTS=filename AUTOCONFIG.
When Annapurna starts, you go to the Reports that you wish
to run. Enter the settings that you wish
such as for this week, use completed date.
If you wish to set up for emailing then you click on the add to email
and add the email addresses.
Right click on the Reports screen. If there is an option ‘Save Report Settings’
then click this. This will save the chosen settings so that they will be used
when running automatically.
If there is not an option for ‘Save Report Settings’ then
this feature is not allowed on this Report.
Annapurna will still ask for the user and password. For an automated process, you will need to add USER=user PASSWORD=password to the run time parameters.
Now, if start Annapurna with
USER=user PASSWORD=password AUTOREPORTS=filename
Annapurna will run and produce the necessary reports.
Sometimes, it is necessary to provide item such as lens cleaner, wipe for particular lens. This can be automated in order entry when the lens is selected.
A file called Lenscharges.csv is to be created in the "files" folder.
It has three columns:
Match
Value
Code
Match can be Source, Design or Code. This relates to the columns in the lenses csv file.
Value is the value to check.
Code is the name of the charge to be added into the sundries area.
For example an entry of:
Design,Premium,WIPE
would cause those lenses with a design of Premium to have a lens charge code of WIPE added to the order.
WIPE needs to be set up in the extras area and a price added. If it is to be free of charge then a nett zero price needs to be added still.
There is a new report (Report 54) which will show the total jobs processed by a machine for a range of days.
The Annapurna reference search box can be used to find orders when it used in special ways.
1. If the entry starts and ends with " then this will search the order details for matching text.
For example "Hawkstone" will show all the orders that have the text Hawkstone as part of the order data.
2. If the entry stars and ends with ' then this will search the order comments for matching text.
For example, 'return' will show the orders that have 'return' in the comments.
3. If the entry starts and ends with ^ then this will search for orders downloaded from Solenzara with that number.
For example, ^21345^ will show the Annapurna order with this Solenzara number. Please note that this will require versions of Solenzara and Annapurna updated in the last six months.
