Creating & Managing Orders on the Scale App

Fast-Weigh Desktop Ticketing Application

You can create and manage Orders directly from the Scale App, if you have the Order Add/Update setting turned on. All of the Orders created for your location can be viewed and updated, or you can quickly add a new Order while ticketing. 

To view your  Orders, click on the Orders icon on the left menu.


Adding New Orders

To create a new Order, click on the Add Order button on the top-right of the Orders screen. This will bring up a page similar to the Order Add/Edit page on the Web Portal.
