Active Orders are orders to which you can add titles.

Completed Orders are “closed” and you cannot add more titles to them.

Your Active Orders list will likely be quite small, as it should only include orders on which you’re currently working. Once finished with an order, you’ll want to mark it Completed as soon as possible. Doing so will make it impossible for you to accidentally add new titles to an old order, which can just be messy. If you accidentally do add titles to the wrong order, you can rectify that mistake by following these instructions.

On your Orders page, you’ll see that you can view either Active or Completed Orders (and can set a time frame for visible activity by clicking on the calendar icon).

You might take a look at your Active Orders, if you’ve been using Edelweiss for a while, and make sure that all older and/or finalized orders are marked Completed!

There is generally no reason to delete a legitimate order from Edelweiss, as you can simply mark it Completed and we’ll store it for your reference. If you create an order by accident and wish to delete it, you’ll need to first mark it Completed, and then hit the delete icon:

To reactivate a Completed order so you can add titles to it, simply mark it Active:

You can also mark multiple orders Completed at once. Either use the checkmarks to the right of each order to select the ones you want, or click Other Actions at the top of your page and Select All > Export:

In the next window, you’ll see the options to download all selected orders, change the export format, or Mark Complete all selected orders:

Easy!
