Magento 2, displays the customer info, address information, payment, and shipping information, etc. on the admin sales order view. Magento Backend is already packed with several options that allow you to manage store functionalities efficiently. Sometimes this information may not be enough based on the requirements.
Recently, one of our customers wants to do the same where he wants to add the custom section in the admin Sales Order view of Magento 2 and here is how we did it.
## How to Add Custom Block to Order View Information in Magento
We will introduce several ways to add a new custom block to order view, code snippets are under a module named **Dolphin\_OrderSection**.
### Step 1: Create Registration
Create **registration.php** file in the **app/code/Dolphin/OrderSection** folder with the following code.
```
```

### Step:3 Create a Layout
Create a **sales\_order\_view.xml** file in the **app/code/Dolphin/OrderSection/view/adminhtml/layout** folder with the following code.
```
```
A **block** is a unit of page output that renders some distinctive content (anything visually tangible for the end-user), such as a piece of information or a user interface element.
- **class:** A fully-qualified class name, such as `Vendor\Module\Block\Class`. Defaults to `Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template`. ex: **“Dolphin\\OrderSection\\Block\\Adminhtml\\Order\\View\\View”**
- **name:** 0-9, A-Z, a-z, underscore (\_), period (.), dash (-). Should start with a letter. Case-sensitive. ex: **“sales\_custom\_view”**
- **template:**`Vendor_Module::path/to/template.phtml` (Scope is already in the `templates` directory of the module) ex: **“Dolphin\_OrderSection::order/view/view.phtml”**
### Step:4 Create a Block
Create a **View.php** file in the **app/code/Dolphin/OrderSection/Block/Adminhtml/Order/View** folder with the following code.
```
Custom Information Add custom block information ```
After that, clear the cache, go to sales order and click to view any order. you will see your custom information block.
