How to view a customer's orders in Dumpster Controls

There are two ways to see a customer's order history: the "Orders" tab in their profile drawer, and the inline expansion right on the Customers table.

1. 1

   Option 1: the drawer tab

   Open the customer and click "Orders". You get the same table as Rental History: "Order ID", "Customer", "Contracted", "Expenses", "P&L", "Status", and "Dates". Click any row to expand the full order panel with schedule, payment, photos, and invoice actions. Empty profiles show "No orders yet".

2. 2

   Option 2: expand the row in place

   On the Customers table, click the arrow at the start of a row or the orders pill in the "Orders" column (tooltip: "View orders & consolidate invoices"). The row expands into that customer's order list without leaving the page.

3. 3

   Work inside the expansion

   Each order row expands further for details, and unpaid invoices get checkboxes for consolidation. A bar above the list explains: "Select 2 or more unpaid invoices below to consolidate them into a single payment."

   Check the money at a glance

   "Contracted" is what the customer agreed to pay, "Expenses" is your recorded cost, and "P&L" is the difference, so the history doubles as a per-customer profitability view.
