When all desired designs are selected, clicking "Go" will cause each design to be set up in the lens styles as a digital design for this vendor, with the appropriate LNAM and ENGMASK values, if applicable, and the correct digital settings, and will cause alias records to be automatically created for designs that require them. Note that Zeiss designs are created with an alias to "PUCK" (the Zeiss donor blanks); other vendors are created with an alias to "SV"; beginning with version 6.45.03, the lens style of the Alias item is set in the CSV file.
Format of CSV file
For the Essilor file above, the LNAM column is blank, because the LNAM is set by combination of design, material, color and treatment in the ESS or ESSL table. ENGMASK is not typically used for Essilor designs, engraving is sent in the LMS file in the form of multiple ENGMARK records.
For the above sample Zeiss file, the LNAM is set (because it is the same for a design for all materials), the BRS option is set to trigger use of BRS request, and the ALIAS is set to "PUCK", which are the Zeiss donor blanks.
