Customising the order view

On this page you will learn how to customise the order overview as well as the detail view of your orders according to your needs. For this, there are different views and a variety of settings available.

1. Compact view vs. list view

In the order UI, you have the choice between the list view and the compact view, so you can decide how you want to display your orders. When opening the Orders » Orders menu, the compact view is displayed by default. For every new login, the view that was last used will be opened.
But what is the difference between the two views? While the list view displays one order per line with the selected columns, the compact view also directly shows the selected order details in the overview in a space-saving way.
Thus, decide for yourself which view meets your needs and switch between them as desired.

Switching between the views via one click

At the top right in the order overview you can use the button Switch to list view (list) or Switch to compact view (table_rows) to switch between the views at any time. In case you set any filters, these will automatically be transferred when switching views.

1.1. Customising the compact view

You can individually design the compact view and use the editing mode to determine which information should be displayed about your orders. Moreover, you can select how big the different fields of the order information should be displayed and if required, you can also add a colour highlighting to visually separate the fields.
In the following chapters you will learn how to customise the compact view according to your needs.

1.1.1. Selecting fields for the order overview

At first, select the fields that should be displayed for your orders in the overview. To do so, proceed as follows.

Selecting fields for the order overview:

  1. Go to Orders » Orders.

  2. Carry out the search (search) to display orders.

  3. In case your are in the list view, click on Switch to compact view (table_rows) at the top right to switch to the compact view.

  4. At the top right, click on Edit view () to edit the compact view in the editing mode.

  5. At the top right of the main window, click on Edit (edit).
    → The editing mode opens.

  6. On the right in the Compact view fields section of the settings, select (check_box) the fields that should be displayed in the compact view. Further information on the available fields can be found in Table 2.
    Tip: Move drag_indicator the selected fields via drag-and-drop to the desired position until they are displayed in the desired order. Set which information the individual fields should contain.

  7. If you are satisfied with the selected fields, click on Save view (save) at the top right.

  8. Enter a name for the new view and click on Create view.
    → The new view is created.

Do you have admin rights?

Only admin users can create and edit views. If you are not an admin:

  1. Turn to someone with admin rights.

  2. Ask the person to create the necessary views for you and to assign them to your user account.

You can individually adjust and edit each element. Table 9 contains an overview of the functions available in the editing mode for the list view.

Do you have admin rights?

Only admin users can create and edit views. If you are not an admin:

  1. Turn to someone with admin rights.

  2. Ask the person to create the necessary views for you and to assign them to your user account.
