Specify that a treatment is required for a lens.
Rules for setting required treatments for a lens.
There is a column (N) in the lenses csv. This was originally for coating required but has been expanded to cover all treatment types.
If it is blank or 0 then there are no specific requirements for a treatment.
If it is 1 then a coating is required.
If it is a coating code eg HC then a coating is required and this coating code is the default choice.
If the entry is TINT then a tint is required. If a specific tint is required then is can be followed by a code eg TINTBR85 will set BR85 as the tint.
If the entry is UV then a UV is required. If a specific UV is required then it can be followed by a code eg UVUV400 will set UV400 as the UV.
Multiple entries can be made by separating with a :
So HC:TINT will set HC as the default coating and that Tint is required.

Specify UV that can be linked with tints.
UV Processing in Treatment CSV file.
There is a column K in the treatment csv file. On a tint row
then this can be set to a code for a UV item.
If the code is set as NONE then any UV entered on the order
is removed as this is to indicate that the tint contains a UV filter.
If the code is set and is not NONE then this indicates that there is a wish to ensure a UV is included with the tint. To do this then the following is
applied.
If the lens index is 1.502 or less then the UV connected
with the tint is applied at order entry.
If the index is higher than 1.502 then a check is made to see if the UV
connected code is present. If it is then it is removed.
