Introduction
This document will explain how to navigate and input data using your keyboard. Optifacts has several different types of screens, each with its’ own . Each has standards for navigating through and inputting data into the various fields.
Features
Speed - The order entry system is quick to use because it skips those windows and fields that don’t apply to the calculations you have entered for the job. The system also displays only those options that you ask to see. If you know the correct code and seg for the style you want, you don’t need to display the style list. Or if you don’t need to enter any calculation options, you don't need to display the calculation list.
Rx Form - Information in the system is organized to reflect the order of information listed on the typical Rx form.
Windows - All information is entered and displayed in windows, rather than in screens. Some windows are displayed for every job; others are displayed only under specific circumstances. As you complete a window, the next appropriate window will be displayed slightly below the last window. You can easily move to the previous window by pressing the Escape (ESC) key.
Fields - Some fields are displayed for every lens selected; others are displayed only if a specific lens is selected. Some windows display all fields, but access only applicable fields, that is, the system will access a field if it applies to the calculations you have entered.
Definitions
Order Entry - The Order Entry function allows you to enter all measurements, curves, and blocking needed to create the prescribed lens. If you have pricing, basic invoicing information is also recorded here.
Optifacts Blocking - Your Optifacts software is designed to allow on geometric lens center blocking or MRP blocking for lens surfacing. The system will compute the prism required to place optical centers, the prism direction, and the segment positioning required at Order Entry. When on center blocking is used single vision must be blocked as close as possible to the geometric center of the lens. Multifocals, however, should not be blocked on the geometric center as determined by available blank center locating methods, but rather referencing up and over from the segment equal to the layout seg down and seg in amounts. MRP blocking is also available and is automatic for aspheric and progressive lenses. On the work ticket, the system will list the blocking method at the top and the measurements under Surfacing Markup.
Right Eye Assumption - The system always assumes you are entering the right eye calculations first. In any window with calculations for both eyes, the system will first ask for right eye calculations, then left eye calculations. And if you’re working with only one lens, you can signal the system to prompt for that lens only, left or right.
Right, and Left lenses are labeled as R and L in the Rx window. In all other windows, two lines indicate two lenses, and the right lens is always the first line, as labeled in the Rx window.
Procedure
Order Entry Screens
The order entry screens are located by using the “Order Entry” accessed from the Optifacts menu option 4 on the Optifacts Main Menu.
Entering Values in Order Entry
Values for various materials are input in the fields illustrated below. Inputting these values is similar to inputting dollar amounts. You must type the decimal point in the numeric entry. For example, if you want to input an entry of 3.5 for the Sphere, you would type 3, the period, and the 5. When you press Enter, the number appropriately aligns within the field. Some fields default to an entry when you Enter through it.
| Note |

*** Caution: If you do not type a decimal, all numbers typed will fall to the left of the decimal when the Enter key is pressed. *** |
