Order Statuses
Order statuses are necessary for tracking the progress of an order from its creation to completion. They help systematize the work with orders for managers, as well as allow customers to see the current state of their order.
Each order repository has its own set of statuses, so you can add unique statuses specific to a particular group for different product categories.
Creating a Status
To create a new order status, open the orders section in the left menu. Select the order repository in which you want to create a new order status and click the edit icon . Go to the "Order Statuses" section.
In the new status creation block, fill in:
- Status Name - A non-unique string. The name also reflects the essence of the status. For example, the status can be named "In Transit" or "Completed". This is the information that the manager and the user will see in the order status section.
- Marker - A unique string used within your application's code. Keep this in mind when creating the marker to avoid conflicts in the application's operation.
After filling in the fields, click the "Add" button. If all data is entered correctly, the status will be saved automatically and added to the general list.
Editing a Status
To make changes to an existing order status, open the orders section in the left menu. Select the order repository in which you want to create a new order status and click the edit icon . Go to the "Order Statuses" section.
Select the status you want to change from the list and click the edit icon . You can change the status name and its marker.
If the status is already in use in your application, change the marker only if you are absolutely sure that it will not interfere with the application's operation.
Default Value
You can choose one of the statuses as the default value. A status marked as such will be set every time another status is not specified.
To make a status the default status, go to the status settings by clicking the edit icon . Check the "Default Value" setting.
There can be only one status with this setting in a single order repository. In the general list, such a status will be marked with a special marker.
Deleting a Status
To delete an order status, open the orders section in the left menu. Select the order repository in which you want to create a new order status and click the edit icon . Go to the "Order Statuses" section.
Select the order status you want to delete from the general list. Click the delete icon . Confirm the action in the pop-up window. The status will be removed from the list, as well as from the orders in which it is used.
