Extended edition Application Administrators can upload their company logo for branding purposes and/or to give the application a more familiar feel. Uploaded logos will live in the upper-left corner of the application. This option may be unavailable if your organization subscribed via a partner that does not allow this feature.
To upload / manage your company logo:
Setup menu > Company Logo Upload > Company Logo Upload window
Company Logo Upload window - Available only to Application Administrators. Logos must be in .GIF, .JPEG, or .BMP format, and the file size must be less than 200kb. Logos should be 150 pixels wide and 40 pixels high. Images whose dimensions are smaller or larger are automatically resized by the application, potentially producing a lesser-quality image. The Upload Company Logo window contains the following elements:
Current logo preview: Displays the logo you have already uploaded. To remove this logo, click the Remove hyperlink. This launches a confirmation pop-up prompting you to confirm the removal. The Remove hyperlink does not appear if you have not uploaded a logo.
File Name and [Browse] button: Click [Browse] to launch the Choose File pop-up. Navigate to the location of the logo you want to upload. Select the file and click [Open]. This closes the Choose File pop-up and redisplays the Upload Company Logo window. The path to the selected logo should now appear in the text box. Click [Save] to upload your logo.
URL text box: To hyperlink your logo to launch a web page, enter the URL of that web page here in the following format: http://www.[Enter web site here; don't use brackets].com. You can also include static and dynamic Name/Value parameters that can be passed along with the URL when the logo is clicked.
Target window drop-down menu: To launch a new browser window with the destination web page (entered in the URL text box) when a User clicks the company logo, select "New Window" from the drop-down menu. To reload the same browser window with the destination web page (entered in the URL text box) when a User clicks the company logo, select "Existing Browser Window" from the drop-down menu. The "Existing Browser Window" selection will log any User out of the application upon clicking the logo.
Window Attributes check boxes: These check boxes allow the window launched by the Base URL to be resizable, scrollable, display a browser address bar, display a browser toolbar, display a browser menu bar, and / or display a browser statusbar.
Form Action drop-down menu: There are generally two ways to transmit data to a web page: Post or Get. Most web sites will accept data sent in either format. Some web sites will accept data only in Post format or only in Get format. If you aren't sure if the site you targeting is a Post site or a Get site, try the default setting of Post. If you receive a "400 Bad Request - Your client has issued a malformed or illegal request" error message after clicking the logo, it means the destination web site does not accept the method of data transmission you have chosen. Change the method from Post to Get.
"Post" form action: "Post" bundles data together and is constrained by total file size. Post is the default setting because most sites can interact with data delivered via Post.
"Get" form action: "Get" bundles the data together in one long string called a querystring and is constrained by a total character limit of 2,053. If the character length of all the Field Label and Value pairs that come after the Base URL exceed the querystring maximum of 2,053 characters after the Value Tokens are replaced by the data they represent, and this data is bundled to be sent to the destination site, then you will receive the following error message: "Sorry, but the data is too long for the chosen method of submission. Contact your Application Administrator.". If this happens, try selecting the Post radio button. If your data exceeds the limit for a "Get", and the destination site does not accept Post, or if you are receiving this error message and you have already selected the Post radio button, you will have to change one of the Data Values being transmitted to the site. For example, if you are transmitting data from a field in the application that typically contains a large amount of data, you may need to remove this field from your parameters.
parameters passed with the URL: Parameters can now be passed along with the URL when the logo is clicked. This allows a destination Web site or intranet site to be launched in a new browser, and automatically passes designated User Profile field data or Company Profile field data to the destination site.
Pasteable Token text box: The token displayed represents, and is based on, the field selected in the Field Label drop-down menu. Token pairs are displayed in the following Field Label / Value format: Field Label=«Token». In the text box, Application Administrators can edit the Token Field Label (to the left of the equal sign) but must not edit the Token Value (to the right of the equal sign).
[Save] button: Click to replace the current logo in the upper-left corner of the application screen with the logo mapped to in the File Name box.
