# Choosing an order

In the overview in productionAssist Nesting, you will find a list of all orders for nesting.

Order overview and status display of nesting orders

You can [configure](/v1/docs/en/allgemeines-kurz-erklaert-konfiguration-von-listen) which properties of a job should be displayed.

In our example, the first column contains the order name you have assigned. This is followed by the materials used, the number of parts, the number of plates required and a status indicator. The green dot means that the cutting has started. The light blue dot indicates that processing has not yet begun.

Just below the header you will find the two filters for "Name" and "Status". Here you can filter by name or the respective processing status.

Using the gear icon in the upper right corner, you can [configure individually which](/v1/docs/en/allgemeines-kurz-erklaert-konfiguration-von-listen) columns and filters should be displayed in which order. Columns can be added, removed and reordered.

Once you're ready to start editing a job, you can select a job to edit from the list.

If you use [the materialAssist boards](/v1/docs/en/materialassist-news) to manage panels and scraps, you can see another column of Available Boards .

Overview of the required and available plates for an order

This simplifies the selection of orders that can be fully processed. Orders for which plates are missing or in the process of processing can be postponed.
