General Settings

The General Settings is your central hub for configuring how the Style application works across the platform.

Here, you can automate repetitive tasks, enforce data consistency, and tailor the user interface to match your team's specific workflow. From setting up default pricing and folder structures to defining mandatory fields and customising what users see, these settings are key to creating an efficient and standardised product development process.

Dates

Choose which dates are included on a Style to track key milestones. This ensures consistent date management across all styles.

Select from these options:

• ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival): The date goods are expected to arrive at their final destination (e.g., warehouse).
• ETD (Estimated Time of Departure): The date goods are scheduled to leave the supplier or port.
• Ex-Factory: The date when the order is ready for pickup from the factory.
• In Store: The date the product should be available for customers to purchase in retail locations.
• Start: The official start date for production or the project.
• Select All: Includes all available date fields on the Style.

Default

Configure the default information that automatically appears when a new Style is created. This helps streamline data entry and maintain consistency across all your products by pre-populating standard pricing fields and sample requirements.

Configure the Default Pricing

This allows you to manage product pricing across different countries or regions from a single, structured setup. Instead of relying on a single price, you can define region-specific pricing that reflects local markets and currencies.

With a designated Primary Region and optional Additional Regions, this configuration provides greater flexibility while ensuring consistency and accuracy across markets. It simplifies regional price management, supports multiple currencies, and helps maintain existing pricing data during setup and migration, making it easier to scale pricing as your business expands into new markets.

Feature	Description
Add New Market	Click Add New Market to include pricing for another country or region. Select the desired market from the dropdown list of enabled countries. Once added, a new market row will appear in the pricing table, allowing you to configure region-specific prices.
Configure Pricing	Define market-specific pricing by choosing the currency for the available pricing fields: • Sell Price • Retail Price These prices apply only to the selected market and do not affect other regions.
Set Primary	Assign a market as the Primary Market, which serves as the default pricing reference. The Primary Market is used as the base market for pricing calculations and conversions.
Edit Currency	Update the currency for each available pricing field as needed. Currency changes are automatically saved and immediately applied to the selected market, ensuring accurate regional pricing.
Delete Market	Remove an additional market by clicking the trash icon next to the market and confirming the action. Deleting a market only removes its pricing configuration and does not impact other markets.
Use market pricing layout	When enabled, costings for styles with Style Price Type = One Price automatically copy pricing from the Style Primary Market and Additional Markets into the Costing Style and Supplier sections. When disabled, the system reverts to its old method. See Costing › Retail Type and Costing › Import Type for details.

Configure the Default Sample Requirements

Automatically add a standard set of sample requirements to every new Style. The available options are managed in Site Settings > Company > General Settings > Sample Category.

Critical Path

Enable this setting to allow users to add and manage critical path activities directly within a Style.

This provides a clear, at-a-glance view of key milestones and deadlines, helping to keep your production timeline on track. You can turn this feature on or off at any time to suit your team's workflow.

Definition

Customise the sections that appear in the Style > Definition tab. This allows you to tailor the interface to match your product development workflow by showing only the most relevant information.

Manage Definition Sections

Choose which default sections to display and add your own custom ones.

Add a Custom Section:

1. Click "Add another label".
2. Enter a name for your new definition.
3. Choose whether it will be a Component or Notes.

Customise the Fields

Users can control how fields appear in this section:

Files

Manage how files are linked across the platform and set up a default folder structure to keep your style documentation organised from the start.

File Linking Options

Control where style-related files appear automatically. Enable these options to ensure relevant documents are always accessible:

• Include style files in the associated order: When turned on, all files from a style will also be visible in any orders linked to it.
• Include style files in the associated costing: Similarly, this makes style files appear in linked costing sheets.
• Include component files in the style files: This rolls up files from individual components into the main Style files section.

Default Folder

Automatically create a standard set of folders every time a new style is made. This helps maintain a consistent structure for all your product documentation.

• Create a new folder: Click "Add another item" to add a new folder.
• Create a subfolder: Click the plus (+) icon next to an existing folder.
• Delete folders: All default folders you create here can be removed using the trash icon.

Lock Style Number

Enable this to automatically lock the Style Number once a linked order's status is set to 'In Production'. This setting can be toggled on or off.

This prevents accidental edits and ensures data consistency.

Lock Style Colour Name

Enable this to make the Style Colour Name read-only. This setting can be toggled on or off.

This is useful for preventing changes after colour details have been finalised with suppliers or buyers.

Mandatory Fields (Optional)

Select which fields must be completed before a style can be saved. This helps ensure data completeness and consistency across all styles.

Simply click on a field from the list below to make it mandatory.

Members

Automatically assign default members to new styles to streamline collaboration. You can assign members based on brand or category, or assign them to all new styles.

• Click "Add another item" to add a member.
• Select a Member from the dropdown.
• Optionally, assign them only to a specific Brand or Category. If left blank, the member will still be added.

Menu Hierarchy

For consistent data integrity, the relationship between fields can be defined in the style menu hierarchy. This will reduce data entry errors and support with downstream platform integration.

Style Menu Hierarchy Template

• Download Menu: Select this to download the editable template.
• Upload Menu: Upload your completed template here. Once the upload is successful, an "Active" status will be displayed. To remove your customised hierarchy, move your mouse over the file name and click the delete (X) icon that appears.

Configuring the Style Menu Hierarchy

Step	Description
1	Go to Site Settings > Style > General Settings > Menu Hierarchy
2	Download the menu hierarchy file (File format: .csv)
3	Define the hierarchy structure in the downloaded file
4	Enter the field headings in lower case, without spacing
5	Define the structure using the related field Code (not Description)
6	Save the file and upload it

Available Fields

• Save the file & upload it.
• When successfully uploaded, a green active status will be displayed.
• The active file can be downloaded and/or deleted.

Sample Reports

Manage settings related to Sample Reports, including giving suppliers permission to edit them and customising the status labels used to track progress.

Enable the main toggle to allow suppliers to enter and edit sample report data directly. This permission only applies to sample reports that have been explicitly shared with a supplier on the Style's Samples tab.

Create New or Update Existing Component Status

Customise the status labels available for individual components within a sample report (e.g., 'Approved', 'Rejected', 'Pending'):

• Add a new status: Click "Add another label" to create a new status option.
• Update or Remove: You can edit the name of a status or delete it, as long as it is not currently being used in any sample report.

Create New or Update Existing Sample Status

Customise the overall status labels for the entire sample report (e.g., 'Received', 'In Review', 'Completed'):

• Add a new status: Click "Add another label" to create a new status option.
• Update or Remove: You can edit the name of a status or delete it, provided it is not currently assigned to any sample report.

SKU

Set up a template to automatically generate a unique SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) for every style, colour, and size combination. This ensures consistent product identification across your system, which is essential for inventory management and sales tracking.

Build Your SKU Structure

Select the fields you want to include in your SKU. You can drag and drop the options to define the order in which they appear.

• Style Number: The unique identifier for the style.
• Colour Code: The code associated with the colour (e.g., BLK).
• Colour Description: The full name of the colour (e.g., Black).
• Size: The specific size of the item (e.g., M, L, XL).

Add a Separator

Define a character to separate the fields in your SKU, making it easier to read.

• Click "Add another item" to add a separator field.
• Enter the character you want to use (e.g., a hyphen - or an underscore _).
• You can customise the separator, but once it is in use, it cannot be edited or deleted to maintain consistency.

Specification

Configure settings that control how the specification measurements grid appears and functions.

Control Displayed Sizes

Control which sizes appear in the specification measurements grid. When enabled, the grid will only display the sizes selected on the main style tab, simplifying the view and reducing data entry errors. This setting can be toggled on or off.

Include How to Measure in the Specification Table

Enable this option to display the How to Measure column in the Style > Specification measurements table. This optional column allows you to provide detailed measurement instructions for each Point of Measurement (POM), helping your team and suppliers understand exactly how measurements should be taken. This setting is disabled by default and can be toggled on or off.

When this setting is enabled, the How to Measure columns are also displayed in:

• Sample Report — In Style › Samples › Edit Sample Report and Order › Samples › Edit Sample Report, the How to Measure data appears in the specification table within the sample report.
• Costing > Documents > Style Specification — The How to Measure data is included in the Style Specification document generated from Costing › Documents.

When this setting is enabled, the How to Measure column will be included in the downloaded Import Spec Template. When disabled, the column will not appear in the template. If the column is present in an imported template file but this setting is disabled, it will be ignored during import, preventing import errors.

Style Settings

Enable the main toggle to automatically generate a new, unique 5-digit style number (starting from 00001) every time a new style is created.

Configure how style numbers are generated and create custom prefixes to categorise your styles

Style Number Prefix

Add optional prefixes to your style numbers for better organisation (e.g., 'WM' for womenswear).

• Click "Add another label" to create a new prefix.
• Prefixes can be edited and rearranged by dragging, even if they are in use.
• A prefix that has been assigned to a style cannot be deleted.

Status

Create and manage custom status labels for your styles to track their progress through the development lifecycle. The default statuses are Draft, Approved, and Cancelled; you can add additional labels as needed. When a style is in Draft, it automatically updates to Approved when an order is created for that style.

• Click "Add another label" to create a new status.
• You can rearrange the order of statuses by dragging them.
• Once a status has been assigned to a style, it cannot be edited or deleted.

Style Inventory

Enable or disable the style inventory functionality across the platform. When enabled, you can track stock levels and manage inventory for your styles. This setting can be turned on or off.

User Interface Layout

Customise the user interface by selecting which tabs, elements, and columns are visible to all users. This helps simplify the workspace and ensures teams only see what is relevant to them.

Select the tabs available to all users

Choose which main tabs are visible within a style to tailor the workflow for your users.

Select the elements available to all users

Choose which key elements or sections are visible within the style interface.

Select the columns to display in the definition
