Setting up the banner

Edit online

In IBM® Envizi Essentials, you can configure the banner on the home page to display an image and a message.

Before you begin

Design and create an image for the banner on your home page. Decide whether you want to include banner text. The text is placed on top of the image. You might add a plain background behind the text for readability. Consider the color of the banner text when you design your image.

About this task

The banner includes:
  • An image. You might choose an image that includes collateral or branding of your organization.
  • Text in black on the right side of the banner. The text can be in color.

Use the banner in Figure 1 as a guide.

Requirements for the banner include:

  • The image must be 1264 x 180 pixels at a minimum. The image can be larger if the proportion is maintained.
  • Use a high-resolution image. For example, export the file at 2x resolution.
  • If you include a logo on the image, locate it at the upper left part of the image so that the logo isn’t cropped.
  • The image is resized responsively to your screen size and is cropped from the bottom and or left for some screen sizes and zoom settings.
  • The file is in PNG and JPEG format.
  • The file can have any name. However, when you add the file to the Organization, you must name it Org_banner.
