Header

Customize the header to the very top of the application:

Title of this application

The title you enter here is shown in large letter to the top left, next to the name FORMCYCLE. When you enter no value, only the name FORMCYCLE is shown. You can use this as a hint for users to quickly distinguish between a test and live environment.

Show logo of this application

When activated, shows the name FORMCYCLE next to the title.

Show version of this application

When activated, shows the current version of the software in small letters belo the title of the application.

Background

The background is visible on the login page and is also shown as a background in the backend. When you select the first option with the dice symbol , the system randomly chooses a background image each time a users signs in. Select any other option to set the background to that image. Currently we do not support uploading your own background images.

Theme

The overall look of the backend view can be customized through theming. Theme plugins may be installed and selected here. Alternatively the look can be changed via direct CSS input.

Links

Here you can customize various different links that are used on the login page and in the backend. By default, these links point to the appropriate pages of Xima® Formcycle.hinterlegt.

Show on start page

Configure what should be displayed on the login page for the backend. Several links may be configured to be displayed or hidden. For example, you could hide the link to the terms of service or show no links to the online help.

Client chooser

It is also possible to configure whether or not to display a client chooser on the login page. Keep in mind though, displaying or hiding the client chooser effects the way users login into the system.

Login with client chooser

User login to the system the usual way with their username and password.

Login without client chooser

If only one client is present in the system, users login the usual way with their username and password. Is more than one client present then the login name of a user changes to username@clientname (e.g.: joe@demo).
