Learn how to efficiently manage your product styles, customize views, and perform bulk exports within the Vestis Labs dashboard. This guide walks you through uploading data, adjusting column visibility, and utilizing advanced export features to streamline your workflow.
In the left sidebar, click on Collection & Styles to expand the menu. Then select Styles from the sub-menu.
At the top of the Style Dashboard, you will see key statistics for your collection at a glance:
- No. of Styles

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
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.
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.
In the top-right area of the Style Dashboard, click the Upload Excel button.
In the Create Style from Excel dialog that appears, click Download Template to get the correct Excel format. Fill in your style data using that template before uploading.
Click Choose file in the Upload Excel File field and select your completed Excel file from your computer.
Once your file is selected, click the Upload button (highlighted in orange) to import the styles. Click Cancel at any time to dismiss the dialog without uploading.
Click the History button in the top-right of the Style Dashboard. A tooltip will appear explaining that History keeps track of all actions transparency on collection changes.
Click the Customize button in the top-right of the Style Dashboard. A tooltip will describe that this lets you see your full collection overview from number of styles and colour options to pricing and margin insights.
The Manage Columns dialog opens on the Current Selection tab. Here you can check or uncheck which data columns appear in your Style Dashboard. Available columns include:
- No. of Styles

Switch to the Default Columns tab to set which columns should be visible by default for new users on your team. Check or uncheck columns as needed, then click Reset to Default to restore the original defaults.
Use the Select All checkbox in the toolbar above the style cards to select all styles on the current page. The count of selected styles is shown next to the checkbox.
Select the checkbox inside the style card to select it manually.
Once styles are selected, click the Actions button to see available bulk operations. The menu includes:
- Create Line Sheet

After selecting styles and clicking Actions > Create Line Sheet, a template picker will appear on the left side. Choose from:

- Landscape Modern – Horizontal layout, great for multiple products
- Grid Layout – Organised grid view for collections

Click Manage View to customise which data fields appear on the line sheet. The Manage Line Sheets View dialog lets you choose from fields including Name, Code, Short description, Categories, Colours, Compositions, Wholesale Price, RRP, Wholesale Margin, Retail Margin, Suppliers, and Attributes.
Once you have selected your template and configured the view, click Export as PDF at the bottom of the template picker, then click the Export button to generate and download the line sheet.
With styles selected, open Actions and click Connect to Shopify to sync your selected styles directly to your Shopify store. This enables real-time product publishing from Vestis Labs.
Click Export in the Actions menu to export data for the selected styles. This downloads style information in a standard data format for use in other systems or for sharing.
Select styles and click Generate Barcodes from the Actions menu. Vestis Labs will generate barcode labels for every colour option of the selected styles, ready for use in inventory and retail operations.
Click Print Labels to open the Print Labels dialog. Here you can:
- Select a Barcode Template from the dropdown (e.g. New Season 2026)
- Review Template Details: type (e.g. CODE128), method (sequential), size, and barcode size
- Preview the barcode label layout (showing product name, brand ID, size, colour, and logo placement)
- Click Continue to Print Selection to proceed
Note: The barcode preview shows a 10 x 5 cm label. Ensure your selected template matches your physical label stock before printing.
Click Download QR Codes in the Actions menu to reveal two sub-options:
- As ZIP archive – downloads all QR codes for selected styles in a single ZIP file
- Individual files – downloads each QR code as a separate file
Click Lock QR Code in the Actions menu. A confirmation dialog will appear: “Lock QR for 5 styles?” Locking freezes the QR code for every colour option of the selected styles. The QR will continue to point to the same destination until unlocked. Click Lock to confirm.
Note: Use Lock QR Code when you are ready to print and distribute QR codes and want to ensure the destination URL cannot change.
Click Unlock QR Code in the Actions menu. A confirmation dialog will appear: “Unlock QR for 5 styles?” Unlocking allows the QR code for every colour option of the selected styles to be regenerated again. Click Unlock to confirm.
