1) Orders assignable to managers (WF sub-accounts)
The following permissions introduced for that:
- Can View Everybody's Orders - if ON, the manager can see all orders; if OFF, only those assigned to him;
- Can Assign Orders to Sub-accounts

Assigning orders is possible both from the list and order details. One can filter orders by the manager. On assignment, a notification is sent to the manager. This notification, as well as other ones, is customizable under Order Settings.
2) Store and show product fields within an order
Ecommerce fields (under Product Types/Fields) now there are the following parameters:
- Show in Admin Invoice
- Show in Customer Invoice
- Show in Vendor Invoice
- Export
If one of the parameters is turned on, the respective field is being copied to the order. SKU and Title get always copied, Image and File type fields get NEVER copied.
First three parameters control showing in respective emailed notifications and invoices. Show in Admin Invoice also makes the field to appear on Order Details screen.
Export, when on, includes the field in the CSV, as well as enables it for QuickBooks Export.
