Orders

The Orders page is the central production board: it shows all confirmed orders organised by status, lets you update progress, and gives access to documents and workshop tools.

How to access

• Menu: Orders
• Address: /orders
• Who can use it: Administrator and User

Interface

The page consists of a search bar at the top and a tabbed area.

Search bar

A text field that filters the board in real time by:

• order number
• order title
• client name

To clear the active filter, click the × on the right side of the field.

Tabs

Tab	Content
Active	Kanban board with columns for each progress status.
Cancelled	Flat list of cancelled orders, sorted from most recent. The number next to the label shows how many orders there are.

Kanban board (Active tab)

The board is divided into five columns, one for each progress status:

Column	Status	Meaning
New	new	Order just created, awaiting production start.
In production	in_production	Workshop production started.
Ready	ready	Production complete, awaiting shipment or pick-up.
Shipped	shipped	Goods handed to courier or in transit.
Delivered	delivered	Final delivery confirmed.

Each column shows the count of orders it contains. If orders exceed 20 per column, pagination appears at the bottom of the column (indicator current page / total pages with ‹ and › buttons).

Cancelled tab

Cancelled orders appear in a three-column grid (desktop). This tab also supports pagination beyond 20 items.

Payment panel (inline)

When the Payments panel is opened for an order (see Operations), a box appears above the board showing:

• the list of payments already recorded with amount, method, date and notes
• the total amount paid so far
• a form to add a new payment

Notes and limits

• Orders are created from the Quotes page by confirming an existing quote; you cannot create an order directly from the board.
• Priority is an integer: values 1–2 correspond to High, 3–4 to Medium, 5 and above to Low.
• The payment badge is calculated automatically based on payments recorded against the order total.
• Status and priority changes are optimistic: the UI updates immediately while the request travels to the server; on error the state is rolled back.
• The Cutting Plan page is only accessible for orders that come from a quote with configured items.
