Key Data Fields
The following fields provide important information about each order.
Most of the information is populated automatically by the system.
As you can see, towards the end of an order record, you can find metadata. This metadata such as source, or subscriptionid, is very important since it provides key details about how the order was created and connects it to external systems. For example, it confirms if a visit request was successfully created with a physician partner or if the order was sent to the pharmacy's management software. Find below a table with details on the order metadata.
