Client Orders

Clients must have tests available to them before they can run a session. To obtain tests, they can either order tests from their agent, or their agent can manually allocate them to their account. Once a client has made an order, agents can choose to review and approve a request, or to reject it.

This tutorial shows the process for managing Client orders:

Viewing Client Orders

1. Log into the Cambridge English Test Portal

URL: https://www.metritests.com/metrica

If you have any pending orders there will be a notification here on the home page next to Check your customer requests.  You can click this to view the order details and either approve or reject it.   You will also have received an email informing you of the order.

2. Alternatively, you can view your Client's orders by clicking My Clients, then selecting Test Orders from the menu

3. The Test Orders page is displayed, showing any client orders.  New orders have the status Pending.

Approving and Rejecting Orders

1. Click Check your customer requests

A list of all Client's orders will be displayed. Any new orders will show as Pending.

You may wish to check the quantity of tests your client already has before deciding whether to approve or reject the new order.

2. Click the tick-box next to the Pending order

3. Select Check current tests from the drop-down menu

4. Click Submit

This screen shows the quantities of each product the Client has.

5. Click Cancel to go back to the list of orders

To Approve an order:

6. Click the tick-box next to the Pending order again.

7. Select Approve Order from the drop-down menu.

8. Click the Submit button.

9. The order now is now approved. The Client will receive an automatic email informing them of this.

To Reject an order:

10. Click the tick-box next to the Pending order again.

11. Select Reject Order from the drop-down menu.

12. Click the Submit button.

13. The order now shows as Rejected. The Client will receive an automatic email informing them of this.

It is also possible for Agents to manually allocate tests to a Client/Location without them placing an order.  See the Test Management section for further details on how to do this.

Steps showing how Clients can place orders can be found in the Client tab of this article here.
