View orders
Orders can be accessed from the request order page, which offers two distinct viewing modes:
Cards View: A visual layout that displays orders as individual cards, providing a more graphical overview.
List View: A detailed, table-like format that lists all orders for easier tracking and management.
Tracking orders
When a design is selected, you can track orders directly from the Export menu based on different references:
- Show My Requests: Users can view all their requests in a single location when accessing the Export menu and with the Request Type selection.
- Show Item Requests: Displays all requests made for the selected design when accessing the Export menu and with the Request Type selection.
Click the (eye) View button next to the order in the list to open the request order details. In this view, you can review the order details and send messages by chat. Using the View menu at the bottom, you can add attachments, specify a delivery address, or view the order’s activity history.
Sorting orders

It logs messages, state changes, customer assignments, and priority updates, improving collaboration throughout the order process.

Archived orders are hidden by default but can be shown when enabling the option on the top. Once the order is archived, it can be restarted and managed the same as one non-archived order.
