2.2.1 Approval of orders
In order to approve an order, select it in the main browsing panel and press the “approve” or
“approve with pause” button.
This panel enables multiple selections to be made: Several orders can be selected at the
same time and all of them approved in a single operation.
 Approve: After the order has been approved, it disappears from the panel and
reappears in "Active Orders" as "Pending”. This means that the order is
processed automatically as soon as the appropriate Service Module is
available.
 Approve with pause: When an order is approved with a pause, it also appears
in the “Active orders” panel, but is not processed while it is “paused”.
This order waits indefinitely, until started manually by an operator.
This option is useful if an operator needs to make adjustments to the image or to
change the order options before executing it in the Service Module.
2.2.2 Browsing incoming orders
All incoming orders are stored in this section until they are approved. Hundreds of orders can
be stored this way. The arrows on the left and right must be used to view them.
The arrows are disabled if all the orders fit in the visible space on the screen. When the
arrows are enabled, they are shown in a different colour and a number appears inside them,
showing the amount of hidden elements in each direction.
The example below shows the contents of the arrows.

2.3 Active orders section
The orders included in this section are those that have been approved and which may be
processed at any time. This depends on the availability of the Service Modules and the status
of the order.
