The Edge is preloaded 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.  
   NOTE: 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. 
   
    

   Store Metal Value	The name of the metal in your store as defined in the SpotMetals list.
   Metal Type	The type of metal to map to; these are hardcoded and cannot be changed.  Options include Gold, Silver, Platinum, and Palladium.
   Metal Value	The purity value of the metal.

2. Each Store Metal must be mapped to a Metal Type and assigned a purity.  You can edit existing mappings, add new with the + Metal Mapping button, or remove mappings with the Red X button.
