Serial Com Ports numbered > 16

There was a restriction on serial port number. This mean that devices (tracers, blockers, edgers) that were connected to a port numbered > 16 did not receive communication. This restriction has been lifted in new software released from now.

Connecting Solenzara so that Annapurna customers are uploaded to Solenzara

In the past, it was necessary to create the customer both in Annapurna and as a user in Solenzara.

You can now set Annapurna to upload all users with a email address to Solenzara. If the user has to be created then a default password of Welcome1 is used - you can amend this in Solenzara.

To do this, you need to make the correct settings for talking to the Solenzara web service are set.

Under Settings / Labname / Webservice/Address enter the web service for Solenzara eg

http://www(x).solenzara.co.uk/cgi-bin/lab name/slzws_simple_cgi.exe/soap/IProcessor

Replace www(x) with www, www2, www3 are appropriate
and lab name with the name of the lab as shown on the Solenzara site.

Under Settings / Labname / Webservice/User enter the Admin user name for Solenzara
Under Settings / Labname / Webservice/Password enter the Password user name for Solenzara.

If all is good then when you go into Annapurna customers there will now be a link at the bottom to allow the upload.

Wholesale Layout

Wholesale orders are printed using their own layout file but this was not accessible from the layout menu on the front screen. 

This oversight has now been corrected.

Tracking Sections - Having a different Name

Each lab has different conventions for the tracking points even if they do the same thing. 
If you want to change the name of a tracking section then you can achieve this by using the language files.

In the files\lang_files folder there is a file called

Default_Shared.lang

If it does not exist then open Notepad and save the file (please note it must not be saved with .txt extension).

Open the file with Notepad and enter a line

message_existing trackingname=newtracking name

eg

message_Customer_Services=Order Handling

Please note that any spaces in the existing name need to be replaced with _


Save the file and restart Annapurna.

Reprint Last Delivery Note

It can be that the delivery note is messed up or that certain customers want to have a second copy. In order to make life that little bit easier there is a button at the bottom of the individual complete order screen which will reprint the last delivery note.  

You can still get reprints by completing the order again.

Tint Selector

Tint Selector.

In the Data Panel there is a new button Tint Details. If you bring this up then it will show a list of tints. Click on a tint and indicate whether Solid / Graduated, Colour Group and Density. You can also set a Commercial code.

The commercial code is used for pricing so if a supplier has 100 tints at the same price then they can be set to the same commercial code, making that part easier. The data is stored as extra columns in the treat.csv file so once you have added one or two then you may find it easier to continue using your favourite spreadsheet program.

In the lens picker screen, there is a link by the tint combobox. If pressed then the user is asked to select Solid/Graduated, Colour Family and Density and a list of matching tints is shown.

Note that Density is used as we are not specifically specifing Absorption or Light Transmission. It may make easier for all to use if Absorption (ABS) or Light Transmission (LTF) is set in the tint description.

Glazed Promotion Pricing

There is a new feature which is aimed at labs wishing to give special prices for the combination of lenses into certain frame types.  Typically this would be for customers where the lab is offering special deals on supra or rimless glazing for certain products.
