Styles and States Setting

Purpose

This article explains how Admins configure Styles and States in the Thulo Logistics Module.

Styles and States define the status labels, visual indicators, and state behavior used throughout logistics workflows such as locker packages, shipments, pickups, and deliveries.

These settings control how logistics progress is displayed, not how pricing or delivery is calculated.

Who This Is For

  • Admins

  • Operations Managers

  • Supervisors

Required Permissions

  • Logistics → Settings → Edit

  • User Management → Admin access

What Styles and States Are Used For

Styles and States are used to:

  • Define logistics status names (e.g. Pending, In Transit, Delivered)

  • Control visual appearance of statuses (colors, labels)

  • Display progress consistently across:

    • Locker Packages

    • Shipments

    • Pickups

    • Consolidations

    • Tracking views

They provide clarity and consistency for staff and customers.

Where Styles and States Appear

Once configured, Styles and States are visible in:

  • Logistics lists and dashboards

  • Package and shipment detail pages

  • Customer tracking views

  • Public tracking pages (if enabled)

States are referenced whenever a logistics record changes status.

Step-by-Step: Configure Styles and States

Step 1: Navigate to Styles and States Settings

Go to Logistics → Settings → Styles and States.

Step 2: Review Existing States

The system may include default states such as:

  • Created

  • Pending

  • In Transit

  • Delivered

  • Cancelled

These represent common logistics lifecycle stages.

Step 3: Configure State Appearance

For each state, Admins can configure:

  • State name

  • Visual style (color or label style)

  • Display behavior

These settings affect how the status appears, not how it functions internally.

Step 4: Save Changes

Click Save to apply style or state updates.

After saving:

  • New styles apply immediately to displays

  • Existing records keep their status but reflect updated styling

Important Rules to Know

  • Styles and States are tenant-wide

  • They do not change workflow logic

  • They do not control pricing, billing, or delivery rules

  • Changing styles does not alter historical status records

Best Practices

  • Use clear, universally understood status names

  • Apply consistent color logic (e.g. green = completed)

  • Avoid frequent changes once staff are trained

  • Keep customer-facing statuses simple and readable

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Treating states as workflow rules

  • Renaming states that staff already recognize

  • Using too many similar status names

  • Changing styles during active operations
