Starred Orders are a simple yet powerful way to keep track of the most important orders in your practice. Whether you need to follow up on a job, ensure a high-priority order is moving smoothly, or simply keep tabs on specific requests, Starred Orders help you stay organized.
Why Star an Order?
Starring an order gives you one-click access to it and automatic email updates as the order moves through production, so important status changes land straight in your inbox.
To turn these emails off, go to Settings → Communication Preferences and uncheck A starred order is created or its status changes (learn more).
How Starred Orders Work
From the Orders Overview page: Click the ☆ star icon in the first column of any order row.
From the Order Details page: Click the ☆ star icon next to the patient's name.
The star turns gold and the order is added to your Starred list. To see all of your starred orders, click the Starred card at the top of the Orders Overview page (the number on the card shows how many orders are starred), or use the Starred filter chip.
To unstar an order, click the gold star again. Once you unstar an order, you will no longer receive emailed status updates about it.
