Spectacle Lens Labs
This application is where all lens labs are set up in the SAPIENT system. As seen in figure 2.16, the lab's name, address and other information is stored here. The important fields are discussed below (All other fields are used for storing the information only):
- Interface:
-
This field tells the bridge software how to communicate to the appropriate DVI lab. If the lab is a non-DVI lab then this field should be left blank. This field is maintained by websWARE and should not be modified unless told to do so. In order for the bridge system to work, some UNIX configuration must be done prior to entering the values for this field.
- Acct#: (Account number)
-
This is the actual account number assigned by the DVI lab for access to your data on the lab computer. When your business has only one location this is the account number that is used. If you have multiple locations (branches), each branch is assigned its own account number which is accessed by the F8 key. (See the "Lab Branch Accounts" screen in figure 2.16)
- PWD: (Password)
-
If the DVI lab requires a password for security to get into their computer, this is where it is entered. This too must be assigned by the DVI lab. When your business has only one location this is the password that is used. If you have multiple locations (branches), each branch is assigned its own password which is accessed by the F8 key. (See the "Lab Branch Accounts" screen in figure 2.16)
- Deflt?: (Default)
-
Marking "Yes" in this field will cause this lab to be the primary lab for all orders. You may only select ONE lab as the default. If you have certain exceptions for orders that you want sent to different labs, they can be set up in the "Lab Exceptions Screen".
All labs must be set up prior to actual use of the bridge system.
Lab Branch Accounts
This application is accessed by hitting the F8 key from the "Spectacle Lens Labs" screen. If you have more than one location (branch), they must all have their account numbers and passwords entered here. All accounts and passwords are assigned by the DVI lab.
