Introduction
This document provides instructions for adding, editing, deleting, and managing your automatic lite-ups.
With this editor, you have great flexibility over your lite-up options. You can activate or deactivate one or more lite-ups based upon almost endless conditions.
With the capabilities of automatic lite ups, the Order Entry operator is no longer required to keep as many notes regarding customer requests, marketing events, lens packages, etc. Additionally, for accounts that want special coatings or do not want certain options applied to the Rx, automatic lite-ups can turn these on or off without operator intervention.
Special pricing packages can also be activated automatically without any operator intervention by adding a few entries to the automatic lite-ups. An example could be an automatic lite-up for a polarized lens package by adding entries that will automatically turn on the polarized lens package whenever using a lens color of PG3 or PB3, resulting in one less item the entry operator needs to remember.
It is possible to have separate lite-ups for glass and plastic sharing the same lite-up number since only one of them needs to be displayed at a time. However, you cannot use automatic and dependent lite-ups with these lite-up numbers in such a situation.
