How to Check Who Placed, Modified, or Received an Order
Sometimes you may need to understand who took action on an order - for example, who placed it, who changed it, or who received it. Nory keeps a full order history so you can easily see this information.
Step-by-step: Viewing an order’s history
Go to Purchases in Nory
Click on the Orders tab
Find and click on the specific order you want to review
Once inside the order, look to the top-right corner
Click the menu (three dots)
Select Show History
What you’ll see in Order History
The order history shows a timeline of actions, including:
Who placed the order
Who modified the order (and when)
Who received the order
Any other key updates made to the order
Each action is time-stamped, so you can clearly see what happened and when.
