• Filter by planning: lets you filter production orders that have been planned to departments, as well as orders that haven't been planned yet.
• Cards-per-page button: gives full control over the number of cards shown on the page, choosing between 12, 24, 48, or 96 cards per page.
• Cards and list view button: lets you choose how the page is displayed, either as cards or as a list.
