 Learn how to navigate the Orders Kanban board, create order lists, and manage the book ordering workflow.

---

### 1. Navigating to the Orders Page

Click **Orders** in the top navigation bar. You'll see a **Kanban-style board** with three workflow columns that help you track book orders from start to finish.

### 2. Understanding the Three Columns

#### Column 1: Books to Order

This is where you start. Click the green **New Book Order Submission** button to create a new list. In the dialog, you can:

- Give your list a **name**
- Search for books by **title or author**
- Upload a **CSV file** if you have a pre-built list

#### Column 2: Books to Review for Order

Once your order list is ready, **drag it** to this column. This signals that it's ready for review and approval.

**The "Tap on the Shoulder":** Dragging a list to "Books to Review" does more than move a card — it signals your administrator that you are ready for funding. Be sure your list is complete before moving it here!

**Teachers:** Moving your list here submits it for your librarian or administrator to review.

**Pro-Tip:** *Use descriptive names like "Fall 2025 Science Unit" rather than just "Book Order 1" so your admin knows exactly how these funds will support student learning.*

#### Column 3: Book Orders

After approval, the list moves to this final column, representing completed, approved orders.

### 3. Working with Your Orders

You can **drag and drop** lists between columns as they progress. A **search bar** at the top lets you search across all order lists.

![book\_order\_search](https://knowledge.bookmarked.com/hs-fs/hubfs/book_order_search.gif?width=670&height=349&name=book_order_search.gif)

**Tip:** *Use clear, descriptive list names (like 'Spring 2026 Science Unit Books') so reviewers know exactly what each request is for.*
