Settings — Master data
Permission: Admin only.
The master-data sections of Settings let you define the lookup values used everywhere else in Zendera: Skills, Units, Groups, and Custom Fields.
For an overview of all Settings tabs, see Settings.
Skills
The Skills library is the source list of skills you can tag drivers and orders with (e.g. “ADR”, “Refrigerated”, “Forklift”). ADR is the European standard for moving dangerous goods such as fuel or chemicals.
- Settings → Skills.
- Add skill with a name.
- Save.
- Use it on the Driver page (skills the driver has) and on the order (skills the order requires).
Units
Units are user-defined measurement units (e.g. “pallet”, “EUR-pallet”), with conversions to weight (kg) and volume (m³). They power capacity calculations.
- Settings → Units.
- Add unit: name, weight (kg), volume (m³).
- Save.
Groups
Groups let you cluster records for filtering and bulk operations (e.g. “Oslo - North”, “Long-haul”). You can create groups and assign any of the following to them:
- Drivers
- Locations
- Vehicles
- Products
- Customers
How to create a group:
- Settings → Groups.
- Click New group in the section you need (drivers, locations, vehicles, products, or customers).
- Name it, add members, save.
Use groups to filter the Tune routes board, bulk-act on similar records, or restrict alerts to a region or team.
Custom Fields
Settings → Custom Fields
Custom Fields let you create your own labelled badges that display on records (e.g. a “Key / Token / Card” badge to flag that a driver needs a key, token, or card at the stop).
Custom Field Definitions list
| Column | What it means |
|---|---|
