Branding the Validator Tool
This article outlines how to customize the visual appearance of the Validator Tool pages using the system messaging editor. This allows organizations to brand the validator interface with custom headers, text, and layouts to provide a consistent user experience. This guide is intended for OPS-COM administrators responsible for system configuration and design.
Setup and Configuration
To customize the look and feel of the Validator Tool, you must first access the specific system messages associated with these pages.
-
Hover over System Configuration and click System Messaging.
-
Click the Messages tab to access the list of editable system messages.
-
Locate the three specific messages used for the Validator Tool:
-
Validator Entry
-
Validator Manage
-
Validator Report
-
Using this Feature
Administrators can edit the content and layout of the Validator Tool pages using either a visual WYSIWYG editor or direct HTML code.
-
Click the Edit button next to the specific Validator page you wish to modify.
-
Enter a descriptive title for your page in the Title field.
-
Enter a unique identifier for the page in the appropriate field.
-
Select the desired language setting for your page.
-
Modify the page layout and design using the visual WYSIWYG editor.
Best Practices and Considerations
-
Unique Identifiers: The identifier entered on the edit screen must be completely unique to prevent page routing conflicts within the system.
-
Image Sizing: When adding a main graphic or header image, it is best practice to maintain a consistent width of 1448 pixels, though the height can be adjusted to your preference (e.g., 227 pixels).
-
File Management: Before inserting a custom graphic into your page design, be sure to upload the preferred image to your system's Files Folder using the Manage Files functionality.
