Solenzara & SSL

All the Solenzara sites now support https. This has necessitated some changes in the Hawkstone Design domain as previously the hawkstonedesign.co.uk could be used interchangeably with solenzara.co.uk.  

As separate SSL certificates have been placed on each site then this interchangeability has been lost.  All calls to the Solenzara applications should reference the solenzara domains (www,www2,www3).  

However, the start html is still set as www.hawkstonedesign.co.uk/supplierstart.html and this will forward to the appropriate solenzara site. In this way, if there is a problem with a site then the forwarding can be switched to the alternative site.

In summary, bookmarks etc should go to www.hawkstonedesign.co.uk/supplierstart.html but calls to the application directly from other software should go to the appropriate solenzara.co.uk site.

Squeeze / Wiggle room

There are a couple of features which allow orders where the minimum size uncut is calculated to be just above a catalogue diameter.

For finished lenses there is a setting in Job Entry / Finished Lens Diameter / Still use finished if MSU exceeds diameter by.

If this is set to 1 then diameters up to 71mm will still pick a 70mm finished lens.

For Rx lenses, there is a setting Calculation / Show Squeeze in.  This will enable a link on the order entry screen "Squeeze". If this is clicked then the glazing allowance is reduced to 0.1mm.

In addition, if the PD is wished to be changed to make the lens fit, then there is  ? by the PD. If this is clicked then a table will be shown. This will indicate the diameter calculated for different PDs and whether it is acceptable according to standards.

Running reports automatically

Some reports such as Distribution of WIP can be set to be run automatically.

To do this, log in as an admin user and go to the report. Right click on the report and see if there is an option "Save Report Settings".  If there is then this can be run automatically.

Make the selections as needed and then select "Save Report Settings".

If the report that you wish does not have the "Save Report Settings" then please inform and the feasibility of adding this report will be looked into


In order to run the reports then Annapurna is run with parameter AUTOREPORTS.  It would typically be added as an option into Santiago so that it is run at a regular time every day.

Colour on Layouts

There is now option to set colour on the layouts.

A default colour can be set as part of the printer selection.

Individual fields can have a colour set by clicking on the colour caption in the bottom right alongside where the size of the font is set.

Operator Report

There is a new report to show orders entered by the operator, both manually or by EDI.

Shape Editor in Order Entry

There is sometimes a wish to amend library shapes.  This process has been updated so the shape editor that has been used in VCADevice is used, this allows more sophisticated changing to the shape and will adjust drill holes positions also.

Lifestyle

There is a need sometimes for questions to be gathered which in turn are used to calculate a design code. These questions are a questionairre with multiple choice answers. 

There is a new field in the technical data for Lifestyle, this is filled with a new for the lifestyle. 

There needs to be a CSV file with the same name placed in the files folder.  This CSV file has rows to cover each combination  of the answers. The answers are placed in columns in the same sequence and the selected designed code is placed in the column with the title "Answer".

Annapurna will look at the answers provided and select the appropriate design code for the answers provided. This can then be passed to the freeform engine via Kalahari or to supplier of the lenses.
