# Suppliers | Settings

In this article we take you step by step through the **supplier settings** of Robaws.  Also take a look at the [general settings](https://support.robaws.com/en/article/general-settings-1han2yn/): they contain a good many settings that affect several modules, and therefore the suppliers too.
  
Go to **settings > suppliers** to see the page with the supplier settings.  
  
| After you have made changes in the settings, it is important to click 'activate settings' at the bottom right to actually apply them within your Robaws environment.

## Overview

Here you determine what **the first tab** in the overview of the suppliers looks like.  What you change via the settings, you change for every user.  In addition, every user can also choose to create their [own overviews](https://support.robaws.com/en/article/using-overview-screens-10zscoo/) and set them up as they wish.

| Setting | Explanation |
| ---- |
| Quick filters | Choose here which filters are ready by default in your overview. |
| System overview | Determine which columns you want in your overview, and in which order you want to see them. |
| Card info | Set the title, the subtitle and the fields of the card in the [kanban and map views](https://support.robaws.com/en/article/views-in-the-overview-screen-au7o3/). A maximum of 8 fields in total. |
| Tags | Set up labels that appear on a card as soon as an item meets your condition. At most 10 per module. |

Card info and tags apply to the whole environment. Columns are set separately.

## Settings

| Setting | Explanation |
| ---- |
| Default payment condition | Determine which [payment condition ](https://support.robaws.com/en/article/setting-up-your-payment-conditions-94873u/)is filled in by default for a new supplier. |
| Default Vat | Determine which [VAT tariff](https://support.robaws.com/en/article/working-with-vat-rates-yuw7ji/) is filled in by default for a new supplier. |
| Default sales vat tariff for 0% | Fallback VAT tariff in case no VAT tariff was filled in on the customer file by accident (important for the link with accounting software). |

## Extra fields

As with other modules in Robaws, you can also create [extra fields](https://support.robaws.com/en/article/working-with-extra-fields-1vwszk1/) of your choice on the supplier file.  

## Statuses

As with other modules in Robaws, you can also give a supplier a status of your choice.  Determine the [status ](https://support.robaws.com/en/article/working-with-statuses-q7rtmv/)you want here (careful, it is case-sensitive), give it the colour you want to see in the overview, and fill in the default status (which status a newly created supplier receives).

## Email templates

As with other modules in Robaws, you can prepare [email templates](https://support.robaws.com/en/article/email-template-1r656oh/) and then use them on the supplier file.
