Once the new order form has been configured, the client can log into the client portal and submit orders as needed. If you do not have the client portal feature, then the project manager can submit orders via this form internally. The The order can be accessed in the system after it is submitted.

This page is broken down into the following sections:
- Status - Shows the status, message, cost, project and contact information.

- Details - Shows the order information including the client, entered reference number, deadline, date received, and language/task information. Since the client is not registered in the system, you will see a message like the one above. Here you can assign the order to an existing client or add them to the system for project creation.
