About Capsules/Tablets/Softels
There are 3 different tabs in Formula Settings for integrated Capsules, Tablets and Softgels. All 3 areas act the same, so we have lumped then into one help area. We are going to describe how to integrate capsule options into the formula builder as an example, but these instructions can be applied for Tablets and Softgels the exact same way.
The purpose of integrating them into the formula builder is so that when a user selects one of these options we can force their formula to be a specific size (range) and also provide specific dosage instructions/options for these formulas.
If you enable one or more of these options ( tablets/capsules/softgels) on the same formula builder, the user can only select one of them for the formula. Example, you offer both capsules and tablets; user can either choose for the formula to be made into a capsule or for the formula to be put into capsules, but not both.
