Step 3: Check out your customized Operator Dashboard
Your Orders Dashboard should give the print operator all the information they need to do their job. After making your customizations, play around with the filters and sorting options to ensure you’re viewing the orders how you want.
- 3D printing workflow tip: We recommend filtering your orders by submitted, need by, project code or delivery dates to ensure the most pressing orders are completed first.
You can also search for specific orders using the project name, requester name, email address, or the project code.
