Overview
Site Settings allows you to manage and customise your platform to suit your unique business requirements. This section is your central hub for configuring the essential details that shape how your site functions and appears across all business areas.
Quick Check - Before You Start
- Confirm you have Site Settings access (typically Administration permissions in Roles & Permissions).
- Identify which modules you are about to change (Company, Order, Style, Portal, and so on) and who will be affected.
- Plan a short communication or rollout note if the change alters defaults, supplier visibility, or compliance behaviour.

Best Practices
-
Streamline Data Entry with Defaults: Make use of the Default Values settings in various modules, such as assigning default managers for claims or setting up standard tax rules. This pre-populates common fields, which not only speeds up day-to-day data entry but also significantly reduces the risk of manual errors.
-
Standardise Processes with Templates: Leverage the template management features for Style Specifications, Documents, and Planning. By creating and enforcing the use of standardised templates, you ensure consistency across different teams and projects, saving time and making information easier to manage.
-
Regularly Audit User Permissions: Periodically review the roles and permissions assigned to users. As team members change roles or leave the company, it's crucial to update their access rights to prevent unauthorised access to sensitive data and maintain system security. This is especially important for managing supplier and B2B portal access.
Troubleshooting
Why can I not see or change a Site Settings area?
Your user account may lack Site Settings or module-level permissions. Some screens are also gated by licence or feature flags.
Steps to resolve:
- Ask an administrator to confirm your role under Site Settings › Company › Roles & Permissions.
- Verify the related module (for example Order, Style, Compliance) is enabled for your organisation.
- Sign out and back in after permission changes so updated access applies.
We changed a default or mandatory field setting—why are old records unchanged?
Many Site Settings apply to new records only. Existing styles, orders, or costings are not retroactively rewritten when you change defaults or mandatory rules.
Steps to resolve:
- Re-read the setting description on the relevant page to confirm whether it affects new items only.
- For existing records, update fields manually or use the product’s bulk or import tools where available.
- Document the effective date of the change for your team so data entry expectations stay aligned.
A supplier or portal user sees different data after we changed Site Settings—what should we check?
Portal and supplier visibility is controlled by a combination of Portal settings, Roles & Permissions, and record-level sharing. A change in one area can change what external users see without altering the underlying record.
Steps to resolve:
- Review Site Settings › Portal › General Settings for pricing and critical path visibility.
- Confirm the user’s portal role and any customer or supplier linkage in Company settings.
- Check whether the record was re-shared or whether caches or browser sessions need a refresh after the change.
