Branding

Purpose

The Branding page in the Admin Console allows you to manage the name, logos, and colors that appear in Tempo interfaces on web browsers.

Access

To access the Branding page, go to the Admin Console. Then, in the left navigation menu, under System, click Branding.

Settings

Note that these branding settings do not apply to:

• Sites or portals. For site and portal branding, see Designing Sites and Portals.
• Appian Mobile. For custom branding in Appian Mobile, see the Custom Mobile Applications documentation.
• Embedded interfaces. To learn about custom styling for embedded interfaces, see Themes.

All branding modifications result in an audit log message with the username of the user who made the change, the previous values, and the new values.

Identity

• Site name: The site name appears as the browser window title and in emails sent from the system.
• Logo: The logo appears on the login page and on the left side of the end-user interfaces. The Appian logo in the upper-right corner of the end-user interface cannot be branded. The logo is automatically resized for use in each interface. The logo file should be a PNG file with a transparent background and must be less than 100KB. As an alternative to uploading an image, the logo can be configured to point to a static image hosted on a separate web server. Use this option when your company web assets, such as logos, are hosted on a content delivery network. The default logo is the Appian logo.
• Logo Alternative Text: The alternative text provided in this configuration is used for the logo's alt attribute and announced by screen readers in Tempo. The value should describe the logo to visually impaired users, including any text that is part of the logo. It does not apply to the email logo. Default is: Logo.
• Email Logo: The logo appears at the top of system-generated emails to users, such as those sent when a task is assigned or when a user is added as a participant to a post. The same recommendations mentioned above for the logo apply to the email logo.
• Favicon: The favicon (short for "favorite icon") is the small icon that appears in the browser tab or URL bar. Provide an ICO file with sizes 16x16 and 32x32. Like the logo, the favicon file must be less than 100KB. The favicon can also be configured to point to an externally-hosted favicon file. Use this option when using a content delivery network. The default favicon is the Appian "A" icon.
• Display Site-Wide Banner: This option determines whether or not to show a banner at the top of all pages in the Appian environment. Currently, this banner only shows up in web.
  • Banner Message (Required) - The text to display in the site-wide banner. This field is only visible after selecting Display Site-Wide Banner.

Colors

• Header Bar: The color of the header bar in the end-user environment. The default value is #416b88.
• Navigation Labels: The color of the navigation labels in the header bar (News, Tasks, Records, etc.). The default value is #ffffff.
• Navigation Highlight: The color of the navigation labels when a user hovers over the label with the cursor. Also, the color of the underline that indicates which navigation label is currently selected.The default value is #f8e85b.
• Filter Group Title: The color of the title that appears above the filter groups in the left navigation pane (for example, "Status" on the Tasks tab). The default value is #222222.
• Accent Color: Affects the color of many elements in all interfaces, including buttons, links, active field border colors, milestone bars, section titles, etc. Avoid grayscale colors (black, white, and gray) that are similar to colors used for interface elements and avoid green/red colors that are used to indicate positive/negative values. The default value is #1d659c.
• Loading Bar: The color of the bar at the top of the page that indicates when the system is processing. The default value is the accent color.
• Wallpaper: The color of the background that surrounds the main content area. The default value is #ebf1f7.
• Email Header Color: The color of the top part of system-generated emails to users. The default value is #1d659c.
