Manage Orders

In this part of the tutorial you will build the administrative section for the order management application, the section where administrators can view orders and forward them to the other departments. The product and user administrative sections will not be built as they are not the scope of this tutorial. However, they can be done in a similar manner as the one you will build.

The administrative section contains several pages that implement a master-detail display of existing orders:

1. The first list to be built (master list) displays the basic order details - like the user name, date of order and the order status. For each entry, a details button allows listing the products that were ordered (name, price and quantity) in the detail list.

2. At last, for each order, besides the (master) list, a form will be created that will allow changing its status. The edit button next to each order will allow this.

The product used to implement the entire administrative section is NeXTensio - the list for the first two pages and the form for the last.

This section contains the following topics:

• List, sort and filter orders

• Modify order status
