### Step 3: Check the Status of an Order

You can check the status of an order to track its progress, as it passes to the Check Inventory, Shipping, and Billing business processes.

1. Log in to the Avitek corporate intranet as John Smith, using the following user name and password:

User Name: john
Password: employee

2. In the Order portlet, click Check Order Status.

The Order portlet is updated with the current status of all pending orders.
