Customers on Annapurna and Solenzara
There has been a disconnect between the Annapurna and Solenzara software. In Annapurna, we have customers and in Solenzara we have users.
When there is a new customer for the lab, it is added into Annapurna and then added again into Solenzara as an user.
In order to make life easier, a new link has been added into the Annapurna customer screen. It is on the bottom panel - Upload to Solenzara.
This will take all the Annapurna customers where there is an email address (as this is required by Solenzara) and upload to Solenzara as a user. The default password will be set to Welcome1 although this may be configurable in the near future.

Adjust Shape Size on the printers.
In order to get accurate sizes of shapes drawn, it is sometimes necessary to apply a scaling factor. The layout definitions are held on the server and this meant that the scaling factor was also held on the server.
It can be that the prints are being sent to a local printer (default printer) and so the server scaling could be inappropriate for the local printer.
In order to overcome this, a new field has been added into the layout manager for a local scaling factor. The applied scaling will be the server scaling multiplied by the local scaling so a local scaling of 1.00 will apply the server scaling as currently.

VCA Glazer - Correction to shape for an individual customer
Version 1.20
This program has been updated so that it is possible to specify a correction to the shape for individual customers.
It is anticipated that this is for cases where the optician has a different tracer from the lab. In these cases the stylus on the tracer may not have the same distance into the bevel as the lab tracer. Therefore in order to be compatible with the lab set up then the traced shape is adjusted.
Corrections can be specified for Plastic / Metal frames. For completeness, correction can also be set for Rimless and Supra frames.
The Corrections can be reached from the configuration page.

Identifying EDI orders
If you have a need to identify orders sent by EDI - eg for checking then there is an update to record this.
On EDI orders, there will be an E in the top left hand corner of the main part of the "view order details".
A new layout field has been set for inclusion on the print out <SalesSource> so that EDI orders can be identified on prints.

Making Added comments stand out.
When comments for the order are viewed then there are a variety of types of comments for example tracking updates, reject messages and user added.
Reject messages are shown in red and there is a request to make the user added comments different from the tracking updates. This has been by showing these comments in a strawberry colour.
