Order fields can be managed in Aurora by navigating to Orders > Order Fields. A paginated list of all the order fields will be displayed.

The listing page provides the ability to filter Order Fields. Using the search box displayed at the top of the listing page you can enter a search term to match on the fields “name” value. A filtered list of results matching your search criteria will then be displayed.

The screenshot below shows all Order Fields with names containing the value De.

The order fields listing page can also be customised to aid searches, by clicking on the cog icon, the number of results and alphabetical sorting options are displayed.

Creating Order Fields

A new order field can be created by clicking on the green Add New Field button on the top right of the listing page. The Add Order Field page will be displayed with an empty form.

The following table lists the description for each field.

The total number of Order Fields that can be created in total is 100. If you attempt to create more that 100 fields an error will be returned. Please contact Aurora support if you have requirements which exceed this limit.

Editing Order Fields

🚧

Edit Order Fields Restrictions

Take care when editing a Field Name to ensure it’s new name continues to contain the original context. If the name is changed to something unrelated you might lose understanding of what values have already been captured on existing orders. For example, renaming an Order Field Name from “Parcel Height” to Parcel Weight.

In these cases it would be more appropriate to create a new order field.

Clicking this icon will allow manual modification of the value entered when the order was created. Any fields that have not been configured to allow editing will not have this option available.
