The Order card

The order's IDs, the kind of move, service and estimate, the size, and who the lead belongs to — and which changes re-price the order on the spot.

The Order card describes the move: what kind it is, which service, how it's estimated and how big it is. Under it, Sales Lead says who the lead belongs to and where it came from.

Changing the move type

Pick another Move Type and the order is re-priced with that type's rates. The size follows by name; if the new type has no size with that name, a pop-up asks you to choose one, then Switch and re-price. Save or discard your other changes first — MoveBoard asks you to.

Changing the service

Pick another Service Type and the Move and Quote cards change at once, priced the new way; the inventory stays exactly as it is. Some switches ask a question first:

  • To overnight storage — the Delivery day, when the goods come back, then Switch to overnight.
  • Leaving a storage move whose linked order is booked — whether to cancel that order and move its deposit.

If an address change switched the day between local and long distance, the row shows Not saved yet: with the old and new service. See When a move becomes long distance.

The size

CuFt/Lbs shows the figures and, in brackets, where they come from: default (the size), inventory, custom, or not saved yet. When the order has an inventory, a new Size of Move or Rooms is only a label: the figures stay the inventory's — see Size, inventory or custom volume. Press the bracket to type a custom figure. While the size isn't from an inventory, Request inventory sits beside it — see Send the inventory link.

Sales Lead

  • Assign to — the salesperson. Saved at once. Only people allowed to assign leads can change it.
  • If the lead rules couldn't pick anyone, a gold note says why, with a link to the setting that fixes it. It goes once someone is assigned.
  • Source — where the lead came from. Leads from an outside lead provider keep their source.
  • Booked By, Created By and Last Modified By, with the date and time in your branch's time zone. Last Modified By is the last real change to the order, whoever made it: the office, the customer on their page (an address, the inventory sent to you), the crew, a payment, a signed document, or an automatic change such as a status rule. The Orders list's Last updt. shows the same moment. Only looking does not count: opening and closing the order, the customer signing in or viewing their page, an email being read, or a save that changed nothing. When the change was automatic, the name stays the last person's and the time moves.

If something goes wrong

  • Please select a size of move — the order has no size; pick one.
  • Service type is not configured for this branch. Please select a valid service type. — the day's service was switched off; pick another.
  • Save or discard the changes to this order first, then change the kind of move.
  • Secondary ID must be at most 256 characters
  • The service could not be changed. — with the reason when there is one; the old service stays.
