Order types are managed from **Workflow › Order Type** and from the order type editor. Required permission: * View Order Type * Add Order Type * Edit Order Type * Delete Order Type ## Create an order type Click **New** on the Order Types list.
New Order Type dialog
1. **Name** The order type's name, for example *Pickup and Delivery*. Required. 2. **Code** A short code used in order numbers, e.g. DO. Required, and unique in your organization: if another order type uses it, the dialog says **This code is already used by another Order Type**. 3. **Description** Optional notes about what the order type is for. Click **Create**. The new order type opens in the editor as a **Draft**. Add its fields, statuses and steps as described in [Building an Order Type](/pages/workflow/order-type/building-an-order-type), then click **Save** to make it live. **New** appears only for a role with **Add Order Type**. ## Rename an order type In the editor, click the pencil icon (**Rename**) beside the tabs.
Rename Order Type dialog
1. **Name** Type the new name and click **Save**. Names are unique, so a name another order type already uses is refused. Saving the new name also saves the rest of your changes, the same way the editor's **Save** does. The code cannot be changed after the order type is created. ## Duplicate or delete an order type Open the **⋯** menu at the end of a row on the Order Types list.
Order type row menu
1. **Duplicate** Creates a copy named after the original with " (copy)" added, for example *Pickup and Delivery (copy)*, with the same fields, statuses and steps and a numbered code, for example *PD2*. The copy opens in the editor as a draft. Secret webhook header values are not copied and must be entered again. 2. **Delete** Deletes the order type after you confirm. Only an order type without orders can be deleted: for one that has orders, **Delete** is disabled and its tooltip says **This Order Type has orders and cannot be deleted.** **Duplicate** appears only for a role with **Add Order Type**, and **Delete** only for a role with **Delete Order Type**. ## Test an order type **Test order** in the editor runs the order type on sample values to show which path an order would take. It runs your current draft on the server. **Nothing is saved, no task is created and no call is sent.**
Test order
1. **Testing** Shows the canvas is in test mode. Click its **×** to exit the test and go back to editing. 2. **Order values** The order's hub and field values to test with. Required fields are marked. 3. **Answers** The answers each Create task step would receive, per attempt, for example the *Approval result* of the Approval task. Pick **Approved** or **Rejected** to try both paths. Click **Run**. The result shows **Finished with status …** or **Stopped at …** with the reason, for example *no rule matched*. The canvas replays the run step by step: use **Play**, **Pause**, **Previous step**, **Next step** and **Show the result**, and change the **Speed**. Each step is marked *done*, *waiting*, *not taken* or *stopped*. **Reset** clears the run. If the draft has problems, the test says **Fix the problems first** and names them. ## Order type states | State | Meaning | | - | - | | **Draft** | Created but never live. No orders can be created from it yet. | | **Published** | Live. New orders use it. | | **Published · draft changes** | Live, with saved changes that are not live yet because they have problems. New orders keep using the live version until the problems are fixed and you save again. | This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
