Style Details
The Details section is where you store all the important information about your style. This information helps everyone in your company - from designers to production teams - understand and work with your style.
Quick Check - Before You Start
- Open the correct style record in Style and go to the Details section before editing fields.
- If a dropdown is missing the value you need, configure it in the linked Site Settings page for that field (for example Category, Collection, or Staff).

Next Steps
Troubleshooting
A dropdown is empty or missing the option I need—what should I check?
Dropdown lists for fields such as Category, Collection, Critical Path, Brand, and Department are maintained in Site Settings, not on the style record itself.
Steps to resolve:
- Note which field is missing a value.
- Open the Site Settings article linked in the Details field table for that column (for example Style > Category or Order > Department).
- Add or enable the required entry there, then return to the style and select it from the dropdown.
Why is the Sub Category dropdown empty?
The Sub Category list depends on the selected Category. Only sub categories linked to that category in Site Settings › Style › Category appear in the dropdown—not the full sub category list.
Steps to resolve:
- Confirm the correct Category is selected on the style.
- Open Site Settings › Style › Category and link the required sub categories to that category.
- Return to the style and select Sub Category from the updated list.
Why can I not find a style by its number in search?
Inconsistent Style No. formatting makes records harder to locate and can break expectations in reports or imports.
Steps to resolve:
- Agree on a single format for style numbers (prefixes, season codes, padding).
- Update the Style No. on the Details tab to match that format.
- Use the same format when creating new styles.
Where do I update Additional Markets for many styles at once?
Additional Markets can be edited on each style’s Details tab, but bulk updates are supported from search.
Steps to resolve:
- Go to Search > Style.
- Find the styles you need and use the view that supports editing Additional Markets as described on this page.
- Apply changes there for quicker updates across multiple styles.
