Overview
Online order tracking for website users is easy. Depending on settings, users can search for specific orders or use filters to find orders by date range, delivery date, product purchased, order status, and so forth. Administrators can also select to allow a range of display and function options.
By default, the order tracking page lists orders and related data such as current order status, order date, and order total. Other display options can be enabled in the Track Order Widget.
By clicking VIew for an order, the user can view its header and lines, copy items to their cart and print the order. If the order has been completed, the Invoice Reprint button will be active.
For Customer accounts
If an Advanced Order Approver by User and Account option with re-assign approver has been set up for a Customer account, the user will be able to re-assign to another available approver in Order Tracking. The log of actions relating to the approval, e.g., approver changed, approval time stamp, are also displayed.
Orders pending approval can be searched for in Order Tracking.
- In the Order Status field, select 'Orders Requiring Approval'.
- Enter any start/end dates to limit the search.
- Click Search.
- Click View for any found 'pending order'.
- In the Approval Status panel, you can re-assign the approver if there is another valid approver.
Step-by-step guide
Order tracking is accessed through the website user's Dashboard menu. It is available only if the user's role is permitted to track their orders. The functionality is generally enabled for B2B customers but can be made available to any user group.
To enable Order Tracking:
- Login to your website as an Administrator.
- Navigate to Content → Menu Editor (/zMenus.aspx).

- Click Parent Items.

- Click Menu Items.
- Add OrderSearch.aspx as a new menu item. See Adding a new menu item for further details.
