    Order Notes

    Is there a way to make notes more obvious that they exist for an order? We don't use them much, and I'm wondering if there is a way to "flag" them somehow so they will always be noticed?

    Thank you

    "Note count" is one of the columns that you can put on display on the Order Processing admin page. That allows you to see which orders have notes; and you can sort on that column, to bring orders with the most notes to the top of the list.

    The "Notes" link on the order-details page is pretty small, and the different between "Notes(0)" and "Notes(1)" isn't very prominent. A small utility module could probably create a larger, more noticeable link for orders that have one or more notes. Would that be helpful?

      Thank you Kent. I think adding "note count" to our order processing page will help a lot for now.

        There is a glitch in the Miva system that DOES NOT add the Order Notes to any of the following: Customer E-Mail, Merchant E-mails, or the Shipment Picklist

        Order Confirmation Customer & Order Confirmation Merchant: [we placed this on the bottom of the table]
        Code:
                    <tr>
                        <td colspan="3" style="padding: 5px 20px 5px 20px;">
                    <div class="shipment_picklist_header_row"></div>
                    <mvt:item name="customfields" param="Read_Order( l.settings:order:id, 'order_instructions', l.settings:customer_input_notes)" />
                    <mvt:if expr="len(l.settings:customer_input_notes) GT 0">
                        <div>
                            <p><b>Order Instructions:</b></br>
                            &mvt:customer_input_notes;</p>
                        </div>
                        <br>
                    </mvt:if>
                        </td>
                    </tr>
        Shipment PickList: [placed just after this code </mvt:foreach> </div>]
        Code:
                    <div class="shipment_picklist_header_row"></div>
                    <mvt:item name="customfields" param="Read_Order( l.settings:ordershipment:order:id, 'order_instructions', l.settings:customer_input_notes)" />
                    <mvt:if expr="len(l.settings:customer_input_notes) GT 0">
                        <div>
                            <h3>Order Instructions</h3>
                            <span>&mvt:customer_input_notes;</span>
                        </div>
                        <br>
                    </mvt:if>

          Order custom fields can be added to any page in miva as long as you know the order id.

          For the shipment picklist it looks like you have the incorrect variable for order id. It should be: l.settings:ordershipment:order_id

          For the confirmation emails, there is a potential timing issue where the emails can get sent before the basket custom field has been converted into a order custom field. See this thread for some background and a work around:
