Introduction

This document provides instructions for adding a lens into the blank selection (picklist) using the Supplier List Wizard.

Procedure

From the Optifacts main menu:

Select Option 8 -Blank Selection and press Enter.

Select Option 11 - Supplier List Wizard and press Enter.

Blank Selection Wizard

Once in the Supplier List Wizard menu, you must enter the correct data into the appropriate fields as prompted.

• Press “R” for regular thickness or “E” for extra thickness and press Enter.

• Enter the lens style code and press Enter.

A help screen window displays showing your options. Depending on the lens-style you have entered, the rest of the required prompted fields will differ based on the specified style.

If you enter a style that requires a seg size, upper add, or other data specific to a lens style, it presents on the screen for data entry. If the style does not require that data, the fields won’t be present for data entry.

In this example, we have entered “P” for progressive, so the next prompt you get is for the material code.

In the following examples, we will be using a flat top 28.

• Enter the seg size if applicable.
• Enter the material code.

For material listings to appear, leave the field blank and press Enter. You can then select the material by typing the number next to the material code.

• Enter the manufacturer code. You may enter up to 5 manufacturers.

• Alternatively, you may press Enter to view the manufacturer listing.
• Make your selection and press Enter to accept.
• If you need to make another selection, press Enter to view the listing.

• Once all of your selections are made, press Escape to move to the next prompt.
• Enter the color and press Enter, or press Enter to view the available colors for the specified lens.

• Make your selection and press Enter to accept.
• If you need to make another selection, press Enter to view the listing.
• Once all of your selections are made, press Escape to move to the next prompt.

The base curve field defaults to -99.99

• Press Enter to view the nominal base listing. You may see that some of the base curves are already set up.
• Make your selection and press Enter to accept.

• Enter the beginning lower add: (inclusive) and press Enter. The default is the lowest add power that is available for the specified product.
• Enter the ending lower add: (inclusive) and press Enter. The default is the highest add power that is available for the specified product.
• Enter the manufacturer and press Enter to view the availability listing.

The available manufacturers and diameters display on the screen.

• Make your selection and press Enter.

• If you have to add more than one entry to blank selection (example: S70, S76, SO80), press Enter, and the listing window reappears. You can again select from the menu. Up to 5 manufacture/diameter combinations can be selected, and once done, press Escape.

• Press Escape to move to the next prompt when all of your selections are complete.

Save these entries? (Y/N)

• Press “Y” to accept.
• Press “N” to return to the form.

The entries are saved.

• Press Enter to return to the base curve field.

The new entries get saved, and the cursor returns to the “Base Curve” entries field, where you may make another selection.

• If you want to bring up the listing window again, type any value in the base curve field (like a BC of 4.00). The window will appear so that you can choose another base curve. Repeat the process as needed.

Once you have completed entering all of the base curves and saved them:

• Press escape to return to the top of the menu. The cursor will then appear on the top, where you can enter another product or press Escape again to exit the program.

Supplier List Expansion

You then get prompted to begin the Supplier List Expansion.

• Press“Y” to proceed with the expansion. (Recommended)

The Supplier List expansion will begin and will check for duplicates.

Supplier List Activation

Once the Supplier List has expanded, you must activate the Supplier List.

• Press “Y” to Activate the supplier list (Recommended).

If you answer Yes, then during this procedure, blank selection will not work. Blank selection will resume once the activation is complete.

When the activation procedure is complete, the system will return you to the menus.
