Rebranding BMC Digital Workplace

As a BMC Digital Workplace administrator, you can rebrand BMC Digital Workplace for your end users. To suit your company's branding, you can change the default logo, background color, and colors for the primary, secondary and active elements.

The rebranding tool, available from the BMC Digital Workplace Admin console, is intuitive and easy to use.

If you are upgrading from a previous version

In version 19.02 and later, rebranding is performed using the Admin console, and eliminates the need for manually writing the CSS code. However, when you upgrade from a previous version, you will have to perform the steps described in this topic, since your existing settings will not be migrated.

Before you begin

If you have a multitenant environment, and are using the BMC Digital Workplace login, you must configure multitenancy. Do not rebrand the BMC Digital Workplace login page, if you are using an alternative sign on process, such as Remedy Single Sign-On.

To create image files for rebranding

Create the following graphics files required for rebranding each tenant:

Background image for login page
Main page header logo
Mobile logo

The following table provides guidelines for creating the required images. Create and save the files to a location that you can access from the server.

Graphic	Description
Background image for the login page	You can upload only one login page image. For faster loading, use lower resolution images. Example of the background image for the login page image with white background:
Product logo	The logo file that you will upload must meet the following requirements: Supported file formats: JPG, JPEG, PNG, and GIF. The maximum file size is 200 KB The width to height ratio should be 1:1 or wider. You can also set a custom width to height ratio for the product logo. Recommendation: Transparent PNG, 48H x 80W
Mobile logo	The logo file that you will upload must meet the following requirements: Supported file formats: JPG, JPEG, PNG, and GIF. The maximum file size is 1024 KB Recommendation: Transparent PNG, 512H x 512W

To apply customization to the BMC Digital Workplace login

If you use the BMC Digital Workplace login, follow this procedure to apply the customization to the login screen. This procedure uses the CSS files that you generated in To rebrand BMC Digital Workplace. This procedure does not apply if you use an alternative sign on process, such as Remedy Single Sign-On.

On the BMC Digital Workplace server, run the following command:
```
(Windows) list_tenants.bat 
(Linux) list_tenants.sh 
```
The ID for the default tenant is 00000000000001, and the other ID values correspond to the other company tenants.
If %TOMCAT_HOME%/webapps/tenant-custom-res/ does not exist on your BMC Digital Workplace server, create the tenant-custom-res directory.
Copy the CSS files to the tenant-custom-res directory.
Clear the Apache Tomcat cache by deleting the Catalina directory located at C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat8.0\work.
Restart the Apache Tomcat server.

To verify rebranding

Open http://localhost:9000/dwp/app in a browser.

Note

In multitenant environments, the login screen is the same for all tenants. To check the rebranding for a specific tenant, you must login as a user who belongs to that tenant company.
