Beginning with version 7.46, Rx-Universe can choose which printer an order work ticket should print to based on properties of the order.

...

The primary components of a rule are a route, a tray, and up to five 10 conditions. If an order matches all selected conditions, then the work ticket will print to the printer specified by the route, and optionally the specific tray. If the order does not match, then the next highest priority rule will be looked at. If no rule is matched, then the default printer will be used.

• Priority the rule with Priority 1 is evaluated first. If a match is found, that printer will be used. Otherwise Priority #2 will be evaluated, then 3, and so one until a printer is found. Up to 999 rules can be configured.

• Route this is the printer that the order should be printed to if it matches the rule

• Tray if set, this printer tray will be used if the order matches the rule.

• Comment this is an optional field that can hold any text you want (e.g. to explain the purpose of the rule). Up to 300 characters are supported

• Rule Enabled? if checked, the rule is Enabled and will be considered when routing an order. If unchecked, the rule is Disabled and will not be considered when routing an order (e.g. because the printer is out of order, or is not yet installed, or is otherwise not applicable for a short time).

• Set Remote Order Unvalid if checked, any order that matches this rule will be saved unvalid when processed by the Remote Order Processor.

• Set Manual Order Unvalid if checked, will cause a new manual order to be set as unvalid when entered. If an existing order is processed, and the order is valid, a warning message will be displayed and the user can decide if the order should be made unvalid.

• Conditions if all selected conditions are true for an order then the printer will be used. If just at least one is not true then the selected printer will not be used and the next rule in priority order will be checked. Up to 10 conditions can be specified per rule.

Conditions

...

• Add >= checks at least one Add Power on the order is greater than (or equal to) the entered value. This includes Upper Add, if applicable.

  • Example: the condition checks that at least one add power is >= than +1.50.

    • An order has a left add power of +1.25 and a right add power of +2.00 - the rule is matched.

    • An order has a left add power of +1.25 and a right add power of +1.25 - the rule is not matched.

    • An order has a left add power of +1.50 and a right add power of +1.50 - the rule is matched.

  • Add <= checks that all Add Powers on the order are less than (or equal to) the entered value. This includes Upper Add, if applicable.

• Addon Code = checks that the order has the selected addon code. This condition can accept either one or two values. If two values are entered the order must have both addons. This condition can be used more than one time, in which case all entered addons must be present.

• Addon Type = checks that at least one addon on the order matches the selected type. This condition can be used multiple times in the same rule, in which case the order must have at least one addon of each type (these can be sperate addons or the same one). The following types are recognized:

    • An order has lenses kept in bin B - the rule is matched.

    • An order has lenses kept in bin b - the rule is matched.

    • An order has lenses kept in bin X - the rule is not matched.

    • An order has no comments - the rule is not matched.

• Customer = checks if the customer for the order matches the selected value.

• |Cylinder| >= checks that absolute value of the cylinder on either lens is greater than the entered value.

  • Example: the condition checks that the |cylinder power| is greater than or equal to 1.50

    • An order has a cylinder power of +1.25 and a right cylinder power of +2.00 - the rule is matched.

    • An order has a cylinder power of -1.25 and a right cylinder power of -2.00 - the rule is matched.

    • An order has a cylinder power of +1.25 and a right cylinder power of +1.25 - the rule is not matched.

• |Cylinder| <= checks that absolute value of the cylinder on both lenses is greater than the entered value.

• First Calculation checks if the order has been through the routing process before - specifically, it looks to see if the current value of Routing is blank or not.

• Frame Status = checks that the frame status of the order matches the selected valueHas Comment

• Rule Mode Indicator this shows one of three values:

  • Existing Rule you have loaded a rule from the table. Saving the rule will overwrite the existing data

  • Copied Rule you have used the Copy button on an existing rule. Saving the rule will add a new rule to the table instead of overwriting existing data.

The Rules Table shows all Rules you have set up. Rules closer to the top will be considered for order routing before rules that are lower in the table. Clicking on a row in the table will select the rule, loading it to the Rule Form and coloring it dark blue. Disabled rules display in red. Note that the table can be scrolled horizontally and the columns can be resized by dragging the edges of the header.
