Configure the look and feel

The Look and Feel screen allows you to configure your WHD screen with style sheets and logos. By applying a style sheet to your deployment, you can render the user interface, client interface, and company invoices with your corporate branding.

Add your company logo to the user interface

The Logo will display on the login page, the header of the Client interface, and at the top of emails sent from WHD.

  1. Locate a PNG or GIF image file for your logo.

    For the classic style sheet (CSS), the image should be 259 x 61 pixels. Otherwise, the image height should be 70 pixels or less.

  2. Log in to the WHD Administrator Console as an administrator.
  3. Click Setup > General > Look and Feel.

    The Look and Feel page displays.

  4. Click Add File and select the logo image file.

  5. Click Save.

    Your company logo displays in the Logo field.

    If Web Help Desk generates an error message, restart the server.
