Columns
Intro
Columns controls which fields appear on the Orders table. Every teammate can focus the grid on what they need — dates, customer, payment, sync status — without changing which orders are in the list.
Purpose
Reduce noise and surface the fields your role cares about. Filters decide which orders; Columns decide what you see about them.
How it helps
- Packing leads can emphasize Age, Items, and Delivery Date
- CS can emphasize Customer, Payment Status, and Tags
- Less horizontal scrolling on smaller screens
How to use Columns
- Open any Orders list.
- Click Columns.
- Check or uncheck fields.
- Use Select All, Deselect All, or Reset to Default when needed.
Fields you can show
Typical columns include: Order #, Tags, Order Date, Age, Delivery Date, Shipped, Items, Recipient, Customer, Shipping Method, Payment Status, Total Qty, Total, Shipment Synced, Status.
- Shipped is when the order's most recent label was created; blank until one of its shipments has a label. Click the header to sort.
- Shipping Method is the checkout shipping line (several names are joined when the order has more than one).
- Total is the order total. The header itself does not sort. To order the list by amount, open Filter and add Order Total in the Sort section.
Columns vs Views
| Columns | Views | |
|---|---|---|
| Changes | Visible fields | Which orders (filters) |
| Saved with a view? | Widths only — Save column widths on the view menu | Yes (filters) |
Set columns for comfort; save Views for recurring queues.
Sort
Separately from Columns, click sortable headers (Order Date, Age, Delivery Date, Shipped, Items, Total Qty) to change sort order; shift+click adds a second level. Default is newest order date first. Total, Shipping Method, Payment Status, and Status are sorted from the Filter popover, not by clicking those headers. Multi-level sorting, item fields, and custom value orders are in the Sort section of the Filter popover.
