Librarians – Active vs Completed Orders

Active Orders are orders to which you can add titles.

Completed Orders are “closed” and cannot have additional titles added 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, we highly recommend marking it Complete right away. Doing so will make it impossible for you to accidentally add new titles to an old order, which can be quite messy.

On your Orders page, you’ll see that you can view either Active or Completed Orders, and can also set a time frame 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 completed orders are marked Completed:

There’s generally no reason to delete an 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 select Completed, and then click the trash can icon in the Completed Orders section:

To re-activate a completed order so you can add titles to it, simply mark it Active and it will reappear in your Active Orders section.
