The Edge will load with a list of default metal types. To add, view, or edit additional metals:
1. Click Administrative ► Lists. This will display the List of Lists window.
2. Check Show System Lists at the bottom.
3.
Select SpotMetals from the list and Edit it. A list of
current spot metals will appear.
4. From here, you can use Delete Item to delete an unwanted metal, Edit Item to edit an existing one, or Add Item to create a new one. When adding, you will need to specify both a short value (abbreviation) and long value (spelled out).
Each metal needs to be mapped to a Metal Type and assigned a Metal Value. For example, 10k karat gold has a purity of approximately 41 percent gold. The Edge will load default values for you. To add or change mapping:
1. Click
Administrative ►
Metals Setup. The Metal Mapping Setup window will appear.
