Introduction
This document will explain explains 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.
Procedure
Order Entry Screens
The order entry screens are located by using the “Run Layout” menu option 4 on the Optifacts Main Menu.
and inputting data.
Features
- Speed - The order entry system is quick to use because it skips those windows and fields that do not apply to the calculations entered for the job. The system displays only those options that are requested to view. If the correct code and seg for the style are known, showing the style list is not required. The calculation list does not need to open if the options are not required.
- Rx Form – Information is organized in the system to reflect the order of information listed on the typical Rx form.
- Windows - All information is entered and displayed in windows rather than on screens. Some windows within view for every job; others are displayed only under specific circumstances. As a window is complete, the next appropriate window displays slightly below the previous window. You can effortlessly move to the prior window by pressing the Escape (ESC) key.
- Fields - Some fields are displayed for every lens selected; others appear only if a specific lens is selected. Some windows show all data fields but access only those applicable to the job. That is, the system accesses a data field if it applies to the calculations entered.
Definitions
- Order Entry - The Order Entry function allows you to enter all measurements, curves, and blocking needed to create the prescribed lens. If pricing is active, then invoicing information is recorded.
- Optifacts Blocking – Design of the Optifacts software allows on geometric lens center blocking or MRP (Manufacturer Reference Point) blocking for lens surfacing. The system computes the prism required to place optical centers, the prism direction, and the segment positioning required at Order Entry. When on center blocking is used, a single vision must be blocked as close as possible to the lens’s geometric center. However, blocking Multifocals should not be on the geometric center as determined by available blank center locating methods, instead, 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. The system lists the blocking method at the top and the measurements under Surfacing Markup on the work ticket.
- Right-Eye Assumption - The system always assumes the right eye calculations entered first. In any window with calculations that include both eyes, the system asks for the right eye and the left eye. If working with only one lens, you can signal the system to prompt only that lens, left or right.
- The Right and Left lenses are labeled as R and L in the Rx window. Two lines indicate the first line as right and the bottom line as left in all other windows. The right lens is always on the first line, as shown in the Rx screen.
Procedure
Access the order entry screens from the Optifacts menu option 4.
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.

*** Caution: If you do not type a decimal, all numbers typed fall to the decimal left after pressing the Enter key. *** |
