The order timeline is a powerful record keeping tool that captures important activity and changes to the order throughout its lifecycle. Rather than having to reach out to several different people for updates, you can quickly view shipment events all in one place. These shipment events include details like timestamps, initial values for the order fields, who made the change, what organization they belong to, and details describing the order changes.
How to access the order timeline
To access the timeline of an order, you can either search for the order using the global search bar, or click Orders in the main navigation bar and find the order there. Click into the order, and then select the Timeline tab:
On the Timeline tab, you can see a breakdown of the different events occurred in connection with the order:
