Replacing the Accolade Logo and Adding Header or Footer Text

Administrators can configure the look and feel of Accolade to be more in line with company standards by modifying or replacing or adding the following items:

• The Accolade logo.
• Text that displays at the top of the application window above the main menu bar, or at the bottom of the page. This may be corporate or legal directives, or any text all employees in your company need to see.

It may be necessary to clear the cache in the web browser to see the new graphics after completing the steps below.

To replace the Accolade logo:

Important! Changing the logo will require you to restart the Accolade Cache Service and reset IIS on all application servers in order to display the changes. Be mindful when making these updates, as users will temporarily be unable to access Accolade during the reset process.

1. Create or locate the company logo to use and save it in a location accessible from within Accolade.

Ensure the file name is logo.png and the size is 107 x 18 pixels.

2. Copy and paste the new file over the existing graphics files in the following default installation path on the application server:

C:\Program Files\Sopheon\Accolade\Website\Content\Themes\Accolade\Images

3. Restart the Accolade Cache Service and reset IIS on all application servers.

To add text to top or bottom of the application window:

1. Open the Accolade Administration Console on the application server.
2. Click Standard Parameters in the Navigation pane.
3. In the Category field, select System and select the Show Advanced option.
4. Set the Accolade Page Header Text or Accolade Page Footer Text parameters as HTML or text that displays accordingly on all Accolade pages.
5. Click Apply to save your changes.

Notes:    If your company uses a load balanced configuration, you will need to restart the Accolade Cache Service and reset IIS on all application servers in order to see the logo changes.
