Order Types are used to organize and categorize orders within the Orders Table. MacPractice comes with eighteen default order types, ten of which are reserved for use with special features. However, you can create custom Order Types to serve any purpose you need within your office.
A user cannot create Orders with a reserved order type.
You can review all Order Types here.
All Order Types are stored in the References Ability. Navigate to the References Ability and select the Order Types node in the sidebar. You can expand the node to see all of the Order Types present within your office's database.
