The Web-based Demantra products contain default images that you can replace with your organization's own designs. To do so, just back up the default images and substitute your own image files, giving them the same filenames as listed here.
The graphic files are in the following directory:
Demantra_root/Collaborator/portal/images
You can replace any of the graphics files in this directory. If you replace the default graphics with other graphics that have the same width and height, those graphics will fit on the page without the need for any further editing. If your graphics files have different dimensions, you may need to edit the corresponding page to accommodate them.
Collaborator Workbench Splash Screen
The splash screen uses the graphic collaborator_splash.gif.
Collaborator Workbench Login Page
On the login page, the most commonly replaced images are the following:
customerLogo.gif
customerTxt.gif
customerPics.gif
collaboratorTitle.gif
collaboratorTxt.gif
Collaborator Workbench Main Page
On the main page, the most commonly replaced images are as follows:
customer_logo.jpg
collaborator_logo.gif
The login page is Demantra_root/Collaborator/portal/loginpage.jsp
You can edit this page and you can redesign the layout and design as you wish.
Caution: A basic knowledge of HTML is required to perform this task.
However, the following code must be retained, because this provides the login functionality:
<TD> <!-- The login area (username, password, language, login)--> <%@ include file="loginarea.jsp" %> \</TD>
The main Collaborator Workbench page provides a set of default links, some of which are configurable. These links are located on the second toolbar.
To configure these links, edit the file secondbar.jsp.
Caution: A basic knowledge of HTML is required to perform this task.
Links can be added, but the layout of the page must not be changed. Configurable links are marked by href = "#".
