Customer Impact

After setting up the My Orders module, it may appear, as below, to your customer.

 

A search control is presented allowing the customer to search for any products, including those not purchased via the web. As of 7.4.2, when the user checks the Show first 30 orders checkbox, and searches for orders, the maximum of thirty orders will display. When the user selects "Show all orders" even if the Show first 30 orders checkbox is checked, the system will override this checkbox.

 

Clicking the “+” sign allows the customer to see a more detailed view of the product. Clicking the Order Number allows the customer to view the Order Summary page for the order.

 

For meeting products, the customer also has the option to view all the badges that were awarded for the meeting product.
