Understanding Casting Factor References
Casting Factor References explain where casting-factor evidence came from and how that source is classified.
What a Casting Factor Reference is
A Casting Factor Reference identifies the evidence behind one or more casting-factor rows.
Examples can include:
- a supplier/provider document;
- a published technical source;
- a published material-density source;
- a jeweler or metallurgical reference.
What the reference grid shows
The transparency grid can show information such as:
- source code and name;
- description;
- reference type;
- provider/supplier;
- publisher;
- reference title;
- external or hosted source link;
- publication/version information;
- current factor usage;
- metals associated with the source;
- notes and administrative information.
Why multiple sources can exist
Prisflux may retain alternate evidence without making that evidence the current operational winner.
For example, a lower-priority published-density source can be stored alongside the current primary reference.
Tenant view
Tenant Admin has a tenant-scoped Casting Factor References view. It is intended for transparency and is limited to references available to the current tenant.
When a source shows zero Piece usage
That does not necessarily mean the source is invalid.
It may be alternate evidence that is not currently winning the resolver for any Piece/Physical Mold context.
