Coatings

This is where the external lab codes for spectacle lens coatings are entered. The new way (Version 4.3.1 or higher) to enter coatings is as follows:

In the coating lab code field use the redirect feature to put the code in a special coating field called "901". For example: the lab redirect code for a Mirror Coating would look like:

As multiple coatings are ordered the coatings will be automatically assigned to the next available coating field.

The original way to enter DVI coatings worked as follows (Note: This way is no longer recommened and is here for backward compatibility only):

Any spectacle lens coatings with an external lab code entered here will be sent to the coating area (field number 115 for a right lens or 136 for a left lens) on the DVI lab order entry screen. All external lab codes require either a preceding or trailing minus ("-"). This tells the lab that the coating is a factory coating (trailing minus) or to be applied in the lab (preceding minus). Each DVI order entry coating field will allow one factory and one lab coating code to be entered per eye. If more codes are sent, they will be put in the special instruction (also called the service description) area. For further information on specific coded tints setup, refer to section two under Specific Lens Setup: Coatings.

The following is a list of some of the basic external lab codes currently supported by the DVI lab order entry computer (There may be more codes available). You should discuss the various options available with your own DVI laboratory.

(Note: The SAPIENT description can be anything, but the DVI code must match)

Note: In order to use the FLD#SRV redirecting utility, you must first verify that your DVI lab allows the specified external lab code in the service code field.
