Review Orders Screen

The Review Orders screen is the main order search and invoice viewing tool for your order records.

Navigation

Help! My records trail off the screen!

1. Go full screen (instructions are below)

2. Use the Column and Row orderings tools located int he "Result Display Settings" that appears in the search results page (See section below.)

3. There's a scroll bar at the bottom of the orders list. Use that to see the columns trailing off the screen along the far right side of the page.

A Tour

As part of our site redesign, we've added some new features to the merchant site. Here's a tour of the Order Review features in case you're unfamiliar with them.

Full screen mode

To the far right side of the "View all orders (in any stage)" search page, you'll see a button labelled "Toggle Full Screen". Clicking this image will toggle full screen mode. This will not affect your browser window size, but it will hide the UltraCart title and navigation sections, freeing up real estate for result sets. The web page will store a cookie saving your preference for full screen (or not).

Filter Options

The filter options allows you to specify which records you wish to see. The fields below are mostly self explanatory.

Clicking Display Results Below will generate an html listing on the same page. This listing will respect both the Row and Column Ordering you specify (see below for ordering details). Clicking the Download Report button will spawn a PDF report to a new window. It will respect your Filter Options and Row Ordering, but will not consider any Column Ordering or hiding. Is this something you desire?

Row and Column Ordering

The Row and Column Ordering panel contains two lists. The first is Column Ordering, the second is Row Ordering. Column Ordering affects which columns appear on a report and in which order. Row Ordering affects the order of the data. The Row Ordering is passed to the underlying database queries. Examples showing the effects both follow.



The lists operate in the same manner. Drag and Drop the fields up and down to change their order. For example, in the picture below, Email is the third column on the report.



To move it to the second position, I click on it and drag it upward.



Notice below, that when I drop it, the order has changed, and the fields have re-numbered themselves. Email was No. 3, and is now No. 2.



Column Ordering also has the additional feature of a hide checkbox. Clicking the checkbox will hide a column from a report.

The Effect of Column Ordering

The default report shows 23 columns of data. Unless you have a monitor running a resolution 1900 pixels wide, that crams up the screen with data. In the screenshot below, the data is literally spilling off the page. Tsk tsk.



So, let's eliminate some fields we don't need, while at the same time, shifting important fields fields to the left of the report.
For a fictitious example, consider my needs as follows:

• I only do business in the United States, so I don't care about the Country fields. I hide them.
• Many of my customers are individuals, so the Company fields provide little value. I hide them too.
• For the same reason above, Bill To Name and Ship To Name are usually the same. I hide one of them.
• Of the dates, I'm only concerned about Payment Date. I'll hide the other two.
• I'll also hide RMA. I don't need it for this report.
• I wish to feature Bill To State and City more prominently, so I'll shift them to the front of the report.

Here's what my Column Ordering will look like:


After clicking Save Changes and reloading, my report is much smaller and will display on lower resolutions. And it contains only the information I need.

The Effect of Row Ordering

While the Column Ordering changes I made above are good, I wish to sort my report by State and City. So I'll make the following changes to my Row Ordering, save them, and reload my report.
Before I make these changes, my report sorts by the default of Order ID (descending).



After moving state and city to the top...



My report contains the sort order I desire.

Order Slide Show

The Slide Show is a panel that displays a single order along with applicable actions that may be performed against that order. The actions display to the left of the order.

Starting a Slide Show

You may begin a slide show three different ways:

1. Click the slideshow icon for an order.



2. Click an order ID.

Moving through a Slide Show

To move forward or backwards in a slide show, click the order IDs at the top of the panel. There are usually three Order IDs displayed: 1) previous order in the list, 2) current order, and 3) the next order in the list.



Click the previous or next order will display that order. Clicking the current order will refresh the currently displayed order (if you wish to do that for whatever reason).
