Clarify "access details of an individual order" in the dashboard meaning

[cupakromer]

:checkered_flag: Flagging this story for review.

As an Administrator, I can also view an order "dashboard" where I can: ...

• Access details of an individual order, including:
  • Order date and time
  • Purchaser full name and email address
  • ...

I understand how the basic dashboard features are supposed to fit; such as See a listing of all orders. However, I'm not able to conceptualize what the latter Access details of an individual order means in this context. Normally, I would say, "Hey let's ask the customer.", but we are the customer in this case.

Thoughts:

• Does this mean we just go to the order edit page?

  Which would be related to links for each individual order

• Does it mean the dashboard has some sort of detail section?

  If so, we will need to flush this out a bit more (maybe just embed the _form partial) Use some form of tabbing? Sub-sections that dynamically expand? Or something else?

• Does it mean something entirely differently and I just can't imagine right now?

Thoughts :cloud:?

I understood this to simply mean that the Admin can view every attribute of an order instance, as you would on the "show" page in the views. I don't read anything more complicated into that. The key difference is that only Admin can view all of the orders and all of the attributes. Users can't see that and should only be able to see their own orders.

One gem that I really like for this is Active Admin: http://activeadmin.info/

I read the same way as Dave. +1 for Active Admin as well.
