Basics: What is an Order Status?

  • Updated

Function of Order Statuses

Every order that you create in Assignar has a status. Order statuses have 2 functions:

  1. Signals which stage an Order is in.
  2. Allows workers to confirm or decline their shift.

Types of Order Statuses

There are 5 order statuses in Assignar. Each status has a color to help you see which stage the order is in. These are fixed and cannot be customized.

  1. Pending - (Orange) - ensures the allocation is not live in the app for workers to see. You would use this status while creating an order and still allocating resources.

  2. Confirmed - (Green) - pushes the allocation to the worker's app, notifying them of upcoming work to confirm or decline.

  3. Declined - (Red) - removes the allocation from the app and helps you keep track of canceled jobs.  

  4. Invoiced - (Pink) - used when your accounts team has processed the order data and sent an invoice to the client. 

  5. New - (Blue) - used when someone creates an order from the Assignar Mobile App.
