Switching dashboard view options

  1. Open View Options

    In the Style Dashboard toolbar, click the List View icon (the middle icon in the view toggle group, next to the Card and Kanban icons). A tooltip will appear explaining the three available view options:

    • Card View – visual overview with images and key info
    • List View – compact table-style view for faster scanning
    • Kanban View – view your styles arranged by status
    The toolbar with the Card, List and Kanban view buttons next to Select All and Actions
  2. Use List View

    Click the List View icon to switch to a compact table-style layout. In List View, all styles are displayed as rows in a table with columns for Image, Style Name, Code, Colors, Collection, Season, Category, Short Description, Size Range, and Attributes. You can also access a Columns button in the toolbar to show or hide specific columns.

    Note

    List View is best for quickly scanning and editing large numbers of styles without scrolling through image cards.

  3. Use Kanban View

    Click the Kanban View icon (rightmost in the view toggle) to switch to a status-based board layout. Styles are arranged in columns by their status (e.g. In development, Launched, New Drops style). Each card shows the style image, name, code, description, collection, option count, wholesale price, and retail price. You can update status directly from each card.

Creating styles

Click + New Style at the top of the Style Dashboard to open the create form (see Create a new style), or Create with AI to start from an AI-generated style. Both need the Create style permission. If your plan has a style limit and you have reached it, + New Style is disabled.

Search, filter and sort

Use the search box (Search by name or style code...) and the filters under the summary cards to narrow the list. You can filter by Collection, Season, Category, Size Range, Color, Supplier, Status, Style Attributes and Created date. Sort by Name, Code, Date Created or Last Modified, in Ascending or Descending order.

In List View, a Show inactive colours checkbox next to Select All adds the colours that were switched off.
