Find your orders, with a result for order 2AACB7 and its details panel

A customer calls about order 2AACB7. Is it planned, on a tour, already delivered? Global search answers that from any page in Alrik Connect: press F, type the number, and the order is in front of you.

How it helps​

Until now, finding one order meant guessing which day and which list it was in. Global search looks across everything at once, whatever the order's status: unhandled, on a tour, with an external carrier, completed, archived, or still waiting in the inbox. Each result shows the status, so you can answer the question before you even open it.

How it works​

Click Search order at the top of the sidebar, or press F on any page. Start typing an order number, a project reference or a group reference, and matching orders appear as you type. The first few characters are enough.

The Search order button at the top of the sidebar in Cockpit

Each result shows the order number, its status, the pickup and dropoff, the customer and the date.

Find your orders with one result, order 2AACB7, marked Unhandled

Click a result to see the details: addresses, time window, weight, tags and cargo content. From there, Show in cockpit takes you to the order in Cockpit, already selected, and Tour opens the tour it is on.

A closer look​

Orders that are still in the inbox show up too, marked In inbox, and open in Cockpit ready to be handled. If an inbox order was deleted by mistake, search finds it as Deleted and lets you restore it.
