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.
