Customizing banners in Heritage Process Portal spaces

By default, each space in a theme has a banner at the top, containing the name of the current space, and menus and links that your users can click to perform various tasks. You can customize a banner to meet the needs of your solution or your users.

You can customize a banner in many ways, including these common changes:
  • Modify the banner appearance.
  • Hide part or all of the banner, depending on user role.
  • Remove elements from the banner.
  • Modify the location, appearance, or content of the Help link.
To customize the appearance and function in the banner, edit one or both of the following files.
