Tailoring the application skin and brand

As an administrator, you can use BMC Helix Innovation Suite to customize the appearance of your applications that suit your organization's branding.

Skin is a term commonly used to describe the appearance and layout of pages in a website. Skins are also called themes in some environments. In BMC Helix Innovation Suite, skin refers to the ability to change the appearance of components such as panels, character fields, or tables on an application UI or of an AR System form. By changing skin properties, the same view of the application can appear differently to different groups of users, based on the permissions specified for the skin.
