Table of orders
By default, the table displays all permanent orders and the single orders in which the delivery date coincides with the current one. Overdue orders, that is, those in which the delivery time has expired, are marked with an exclamation sign. The maximum number of orders the table can display is 16 457.
The names and contents of the columns correspond to the order parameters specified when creating or editing the orders.
You can select the columns that should be displayed in the table. To do this, click on the icon in its upper-right corner. To hide or show a column, click on its heading. To change the sequence of the columns, drag a line with a column heading to the required place.
The columns with custom fields are not shown in the table by default, but you can select them in the menu (icon ). The names of such columns are marked with a number sign (#).
When you point to a line with an order, the following actions are available:
- change the order parameters;
- : copy the order;
- : delete the order.
Search and filters
