Create Vision Web Communication Log. When checked, this will cause the Vision Web interface to create a log of all events that are occurring during the communication session. The log is created within the applications data directory and is called “VWEB-COM.LOG”. This is a useful tool for troubleshooting communication problems. It should normally be turned off.

Running Vision Web (Receive Orders mode)
To activate the Vision Web interface, “Use Vision Web Interface” in the Remote Order Processing Options screen must be checked and the Transfer routines within the “VisionWeb Options” screen must be set to “Receive and Send Orders” or “Receive Orders”.
The Vision Web interface will start automatically as part of the Remote Order Processing program. The interface will establish a connection with the Vision Web server and download a maximum of 5 orders, then the interface will upload a maximum of 5 order status messages then the process will exit and regular order processing will continue. Once the Remote Order process determines that the proper amount of time has elapsed based on the Vision Web pause setting, the Vision Web interface will be processed again, checking for orders and sending status messages back.
Status Message setup
The lab controls the Status Messages that are returned to Vision Web, by using a field within the Job Station maintenance screen which controls when a status is returned to Vision Web. From the main menu select “Job Tracking" and then select “Job Stations”. For each job station that you want to send Vision Web a status on, set the “Vision Web Stats” field to select the status that you want to return to Vision Web when a job goes through this particular station, from the drop-down box. For example, to set the VW status to "Treatment" when a job is farmed out for AR coating, the entry might look like:
...
Whenever the Job Tracker processes a Job station that has a Vision Web status associated with it, the job tracker will create a Vision Web status message within a working database that the Vision Web interface will use to send the status to the Vision Web server. A status message will only be created if the current Vision Web status is different than the last Vision Web status sent to Vision Web.
The information that Rx-Universe returns to Vision Web along with the current status is the jobs expected delivery date, the Rx-Universe order number, the date and time that the status was created and the delivery method (if available).
