Shortcut: Entering an “item ID” for customer provided MOULDING or MAT
If customer wishes to re-use their mat or moulding, it can be handy to have an item called “OWN” , with a
zero value. This way, you can enter OWN as the item # in the FRAME-IT screen and it will charge the
appropriate fitting fee; without a charge for materials. This will also flow to the workorder, as a reminder.
Framing Types/Templates: Setting a default glazing, mounting, freight, or misc fee
Framing types can be defined with pre-selected components. It is also possible to define one and set it as
your default. For example, if you want a certain type of glazing always selected.
From the FRAME-IT screen:
-Click FILE
-Click DEFINE FRAMING TYPES
-Give type 1 a name
-Make your selections for type 1 (example Museum Glass, etc)
-Click DEFAULT to ON
-Click OK
-This will come up as the default, each time you open a blank FRAME-IT screen. If you defined multiple
types, you'll see these on a new pull down menu (just above ART CONDITION)
