Filter Orders – Customizable Dynamic Orders List Filters And View Modes

You can filter orders in your Route4Me Orders List by virtually any order parameter and attribute. For example, order address, scheduled date, customer name or email, label code, etc. Primarily, you can filter orders by their “Scheduled For Date” and Order Status.
