Filter Displayed Orders

The Customer Order List page displays the first 15 records matching your search criteria from the Search for Orders or Customers page when you search based on customer-related criteria.

The page provides an entry field below the Order List panel with the message Type to filter. You can further refine the orders displayed in the Orders Table by entering one or more search terms found in any of the fields displayed in that table.

Example: Enter Washington. The displayed results include orders for recipients whose names are “Washington,” as well as customers whose addresses include “Washington” in the street address or city. Next, enter George. Displayed results are now further restricted to orders that include “George” in any of the fields displayed in the Orders Table, provided the orders also include “Washington.”

Matching records need to contain the search term, but do not need to start with the search term. For example, both 123.45 and 23.45 are matches for a search term of 23.

Filtering is across all results: The filtering is not restricted to the orders displayed on the first page of results. For example, if the only order matching your entry is on the third page of results, this order is displayed.

Additional information on filtering:

  • Only fields displayed at the Orders Table are available for filtering. For example, you can filter based on the order status, total, or recipient, because this information displayed, but you cannot filter based on an item on the order.
  • You can enter an order status, such as Closed, to filter the results to include only closed orders.
  • You can enter an order activity, such as Backorder or Return, to include only those orders that have had that activity.
  • You cannot filter by:

    • The description of the order type.

    • The recipient customer’s company name, even though it is displayed.

  • Filtering is not case-sensitive. For example, you can enter closed or CLOSED to display closed orders.
  • To filter based on order date, include the date delimiters. For example, enter 8/27 rather than 827 to filter for an order date of August 27.
  • You can filter based on numeric fields to display partial matches. For example, if the order total is 200.98, you can enter 200 or 98 to include the order in the search results.

Removing a search term: Optionally, click the X next to a search term to remove it from the filter criteria.
